The 2016 Electronics Trade Show hosted by Global Sources is taking place in Hong Kong during October 18-21. About 2,600 booths will exhibit mobile consumer electronics including smartphones, tablets and smart wearable devices.
The show is expected to attract over 30,000 buyers to participate, a growth of 5-10% from the number a year ago.
In the show, about 300 booths will be used to promote and showcase virtual reality-related (VR) products and services, such as head mounted displays (HMD), VR backpack, all-in-one VR, VR camera and accessories.
