«СЕМ-2004» (Consume Electronics Moscow)

The 14th International Exhibition of Household Appliances and Electronics (“CEM-2004”), organized by ITE LLCnpn with the assistance of ZAO Expocentre, was held at the exhibition complex on Krasnaya Presnya on April 26-29, 2004. 13 countries from near and far abroad (at the beginning of the 90s, 80-100 countries participated in CEM exhibitions). The sharp decrease in the number of exhibitors and exhibition space is explained not only by the decline in the interest of foreign companies in the exhibition of household and electronic equipment, but also by the fact that most of them have entrusted the right to show their equipment to Russian commercial representatives. The latter circumstance could not but affect the assortment and quality of the samples on display. All merchants focused on those models that are most in demand on the Russian market today, that is, they can bring profit now, and not in the distant future.
