. In the European market, IFA excels as the world’s largest CE trade show. It’s the stage that companies use to reach global media and buyers – and it is the venue that manufacturers and retailers leverage to introduce new technologies to the world. For example, the major companies introduced one-inch-and-thinner flat panel TVs to the press and public at IFA 2008 – in September 2008, four months before exhibiting the same TVs for the first time globally. One year later, the first 3D TVs were introduced at IFA 2009 – again in September, again four months before rolling out to hype and hope to the rest of the world.
