This exhibition aims to drive industrial development and transformation through high-tech, empower and upgrade industries with an international strategy, and innovate diversified exhibition modes, opening up a new pattern of professional exhibitions. Compared with previous editions, there are mainly eight new highlights in the following aspects.
1、 Upgrade the platform based exhibition strategy to help enterprises showcase their strongest capabilities
This exhibition continues to upgrade its "platform based" exhibition strategy, committed to creating an international industrial ecosystem that integrates leading the development of the consumer electronics industry, innovative technology applications, global market exploration, and the creation and cultivation of well-known consumer electronics brands. It aims to explore market opportunities, promote innovation incubation, and achieve win-win cooperation for global consumer electronics enterprises. It is precisely because of the "platform effect" that the exhibition has attracted famous companies such as Haier, Hisense, Aucma, Ubisoft, JD.com, Huawei, etc. to set up brand exhibition areas, and also attracted manufacturers such as EMV, Mercedes Benz, DJI, etc. to bring their latest technological products together to present an international, diversified, and intelligent technology feast to the audience.
2、 Experience future smart life and create the most comprehensive themed exhibition area
The exhibition features a special "Smart Life Festival" themed exhibition area, with the theme of "Innovative Technology, Foresight the Future". It serves as a concentrated display and interactive experience area for 2018 SINOCES innovative technology products and smart IoT solutions, including four major experience areas: smart home, smart travel, smart entertainment, and smart health. Many start-up companies, including Cambrian, Yongyida, Shangxun Technology, Chuangxian Technology, Chupin, and Hard+, will showcase their latest products in the experience area. Among them, many companies will bring new robot products, such as Cambrian's companion robots, Xiaowu robots, and Xiaoelf's sweeping robots.
3、 Building a top-level big data forum to gather authoritative global experts
This exhibition will hold the International (Qingdao) Big Data Summit Forum at the same time, inviting industry experts to discuss the latest hot topics and development trends in big data.

6、 Creating a human-machine competitive mode and promoting balanced vehicles to move internationally
As a green and environmentally friendly intelligent product that leads fashion, integrates commuting and sports, balance cars are increasingly popular among consumers. The China Balance Car Competition Qingdao Open has received widespread attention since its first launch in 2016. The third China Balance Car Competition in 2018 was a groundbreaking event that established individual and group performance competitions. At that time, it will bring an unprecedented visual feast of balance car competition to the audience, and provide a good stage for balance car manufacturers and enthusiasts to showcase their own strength, technology, artistry, stunts and other balance car cultures. At the same time, it will further promote the comprehensive entry of Chinese balance cars into the international market.
7、 Creating a scenario based living experience, with unmanned technology seizing the high point of intelligence
Unmanned technology is one of the most important trends in today's technological development, and countries such as military, commercial, and agricultural industries are increasingly relying on the efficiency and convenience brought by unmanned technology. This exhibition has attracted China's new retail leader JD.com and world-renowned drone manufacturer DJI to showcase their latest research achievements in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles in the industry. Like JD Smart Logistics's drones, unmanned warehouses, and unmanned vehicles, DJI's latest drone technology and products, Aucma will also showcase its independently developed autonomous driving technology in the brand exhibition area.

8、 Realize new two-way interaction, and break through the single mode of real interaction
The times are constantly developing and advancing, and the functions of various types of exhibitions are gradually shifting from a single exhibition to a combination of exhibition and interaction. At this exhibition, Huawei innovatively uses real-life interaction to bring new ways of experience to the audience. Its "Mate Power Trend Play Store" set up in the exhibition area will use real-life interaction to bring products closer to the audience through interactive experiences such as bouncing ball interaction, image poetry&image home activity, VR interaction/mobile game challenge, M5 painting and coloring interaction. At the same time, one of the distinctive exhibition areas of the exhibition, the virtual reality exhibition area, will also enhance the participation of exhibition visitors through special experiences such as AR/VR, achieving immersive interaction between the exhibition and visitors.
