The event is set to kick off this coming October 12 and will run for 3 consecutive days (Oct 15). If you are into gadgets, that you better grab this opportunity to witness those highly innovated electronics that will be showcased at KES.
The event will feature the latest gadgets and technology related to Multimedia, Telecommunication, Industrial Electronics, medical, fashion, display , construction, IT and a whole lot more.

It is a very interesting event indeed and I'm sure everyone is so excited about this. Let me also grab this opportunity to thank you guys for leaving wonderful and relevant comments in my previous post about KES (You can check it here.) You have raised some questions regarding about the event and so I decided to make some research and find the answers for you. Hope you find it helpful too.

Q1 : Is There Any Competition Involved?

This question was raised by April asking if Korea is competing against other countries most especially in Japan. Actually, there is no competition involved in this expo. According to a reliable source (Check it Here), there are undeniably larger expo than KES , most notably the IFA of Germany, the CES of America and the CEATEC of Japan. KES has proven to be one of the well trusted and most popular Electronic expo in the world too but they never compete against those larger events. Their main goal is to entertain attendees through the various kiosk displays and aesthetic designs which has been their tradition for almost 4 decades.
This is taken from the recently held KES 2010. Check how extravagant their expo was and I'm sure there are so much things stored for us this year. They said that there will be there will be over 200 booths from 24 institutes. The event this year will still be held at KINTEX, the 5th largest exhibition space in Asia.
This year the show is expected to emphasize the convergence between software and hardware. How will software meet hardware to brighten up the IT industry as well as improving the quality of our lives? The answers lie within KES 2011. (source: IT Times)

In relation to it, the event will also organize various Smart Korea Conferences that will tackle future government policies regarding IT and various government ministries.

Q2 : Robots To be Featured in the Event?

Another interesting question from our fellow blogger. I mentioned HUBO, the world's second Humanoid robot and EveR, the world's second female android in my previous post which are both amazing product of South Korea. If there are robots to be feature in the event, well, that is something that all of us should look forward to. I'm sure the event this year will give us more interesting inventions.
Looking back at last year's event, check out this amazing 3D software that gives shoppers an ability to choose their 3D digital Avatar where in they can put different clothes to it before purchasing the items.
Since they are focusing more on software this year, expect to see more of this highly innovated technology. As a matter of fact, they are set to release a specialized mobile application for this event. Yup! A special Smartphone app will be released soon for KES 2011 and that is something to watch out for.
You can follow them at their Official Facebook fanpage or their Twitter page for more updates and to know how to avail their special smartphone application for Korean attendees.

Q3 : What to expect from KES this year?

Last but not the least is the question from Rami Jinr. I don't have the exact details about the gadgets to be featured this year but that's definitely something to look forward to right? But I'll be more than willing to give you a short recap of the last year's event. From these, you will know that KES 2011 will be a bigger blast. Technology evolves rapidly and drastically my friend so I can assure that there are so many things to expect this year.
