Following the success of the first edition in May 2010, the Fédération des Industries Electriques, Electroniques et de Communication (FIEEC), four electronics trade associations to date (GFIE, SIMTEC, SITELESC, and SPDEI) and GL Event Exhibitions are now organizing the 2nd edition of this key event for the electronics and digital industries, to be held from May 24 to 26, 2011, at the Parc des expositions, Porte de Versailles (Hall 4).
CIEN's ambition is to be a meeting place for electronics and digital industry players in France and Europe to exchange ideas on the major markets of the future.
"2010 was the first edition of CIEN: we want to capitalize on this promising experience, improve the concept, and do our utmost to give the show a European dimension," explains Pierre Gattaz, Chairman of FIEEC and CIEN. "It's important that we continue to show that the electronics industry is at the heart of tomorrow's societal responses. We have a major asset for our country: a vibrant, creative and dynamic electronics and digital industry. CIEN 2011 will be an opportunity to reiterate this.
CIEN 2011 has been redesigned in the light of feedback from the first edition, and will feature a number of new features designed to revitalize the show, which aims to play a leading role in stimulating the industry, particularly around the major markets of the future.
In addition to the traditional "trade show" area, a number of complementary events will be organized, including an information magazine, high-level technical conferences, hands-on activities and business pre-meetings.
Three days of high-level conferences will provide an opportunity for key customers and the industry to meet and exchange views on key markets and forward-looking themes:
? the key role of electronic components in social issues,
? the contribution of electronics and digital technology to transport, particularly the automobile, with the development of the electric car,
? telehealth.
"We intend to be part of the momentum generated by the French government's National Conference for Industry," says Pierre Gattaz, Chairman of FIEEC and CIEN. "Our sector is key to the future of our industry, and the existence of a trade show positioned as a global driving force for the electronics and digital sector is an asset to help our industry develop. This is the shared ambition of the organizers of CIEN 2011. Last but not least, it's an event that aims to unite and open up: I hope that new unions and groupings will join this new dynamic in the coming weeks. Let's hunt in packs!
