Combined Exhibition of Advanced Technologies [1] (also known as CEATEC) is an annual trade show [2] in Japan. It is regarded as the Japanese equivalent of Consumer Electronics Show.[3][4] It is Japan's largest IT and electronics exhibition and conference.[5]
CEATEC provides a platform for companies and organizations from all over the world to showcase their cutting-edge products, services and technologies. The event also serves as key industry networking and information-gathering opportunity, with numerous seminars and other activities offered during the fair.

History
The show is held every year in October in Makuhari Messe since the first CEATEC in 2000.[6] The most recent exhibition, the ninth iteration of CEATEC, was held between September 30 to October 4, 2008.[7] CEATEC Japan 2008, attracted nearly 197,000 visitors, with some 804 exhibitors and 138 seminars.[8] Attendance was down from the almost 206,000 people and 895 companies in 2007[9] as it apparently felt the crunch of the financial crisis of 2007–2010.[10]
