A lot of really good photos and some commentary (use your browser’s translator to read it, unless you can read Chinese) about what is happening at the Munich show (posted and photographed by Lobular [Leo Yeh]):
[Guess it was a successful CES. Impressive. Though numbers at the CES part of high-end audio, I would say, were lower and at THE SHOW part of of high-end audio… higher.]
“The International CES® today announced that 31,677 industry professionals from outside the U.S. attended the 2011 International CES January 6-9, 2011, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Up 30 percent from last year, international attendance at the 2011 CES set a new record for the show’s 45 year history. An independent audit, performed by Veris Consulting LLC, confirms CES’ status as the world’s largest consumer technology tradeshow and North America’s largest annual tradeshow of any kind. Overall, the 2011 International CES welcomed 149,529 technology attendees during its four day run.”
Looks like the California Audio Show 2011 aka the Dagogo Show is going to be in Burlingame [essentially near the SFO airport just south of San Francisco] this year. It will take place on July 15-17.
Audio Note will be there. Audio Federation will likely be there as well 😉
No we did not go to Axpona this weekend. Given all the shows, it was going to be the most expensive (getting there and back, shipping etc.) and we are not sure all those Goldmine readers are the demographic that necessarily purchases high-end audio gear [but it will be interesting to get the feedback from the exhibitors as they return back from the show today]
