IFA Berlin 2006
IFA Berlin, which runs from September 1-6, 2006, at the Berlin Exhibition Grounds, will emphasize new consumer electronics — particularly high-definition TV — in response to an expected 'breakthrough' for the segment in Europe.
Nearly all full-range suppliers have announced their participation at IFA 2006. For the 2006 show, the organizers gfu and Messe Berlin estimate the total number of exhibitors to be on the same level as in 2005. Leading companies are also increasing the size of their display areas. At the same time, the decision to hold IFA annually has stimulated increasing interest by the telecommunications and IT sectors.
According to the organizers, the increasing number of trade visitors in 2005 compared to IFA 2003, which rose between 40 and 170 percent for the various countries represented, is proof of Europe’s willingness to participate at the show.
