From May 26 to 28, we’ll be bringing you coverage of CES Asia, direct from the show floor in Shanghai. This is the first year of CES Asia, a spin off of CES International—the monster January conference and exhibition in Las Vegas. With 250 exhibitors that will include some of the biggest names in China and beyond, we’ll have the latest news in technologies such as mobile, Internet of Things, wearable, video and display, robotics, and more.
Because of the 12-hour time difference between IEEE Spectrum’s New York City offices and Shanghai, rather than live blogging, we’ll have twice daily dispatches covering key events and must-sees from the previous day.

The Consumer Electronic Association’s Big Gamble
This week—perhaps as something of a pre-emptive strike against any would-be attempts to knock it from its perch as the preeminent electronics conference and expo—the Consumer Electronics Association, which owns CES, launched a spinoff show in Shanghai. The attraction of locating CESAsia in China is obvious. Not only is China where most consumer electronics are manufactured, it’s also where these devices are finding a growing retail market.
