Now on its third year, the highly anticipated World of Consumer Electronics Expo, or simply WOCEE, is back to showcase another exciting presentation of the latest gadgets and consumer tech innovations from leading industry brands. Extending an invitation to “Experience the Future”, this year’s WOCEE seeks to expose the market to products, technologies, and services that are redefining the way we live.
Led by this objective, WOCEE 2019 is thrilled to unveil one of the newest additions to its roster of event highlights – the Final Pitch Pavilion.
