Preliminary attendance figures from the Consumer Electronics Association indicate more than 140,000 industry professionals showed up to this year’s International Consumer Electronics Show which took place last week in Las Vegas, Nev. That figure represents a surge from 2010’s 120,000 and 2009’s 113,085. The 2011 show set the CES record for international attendees, who numbered 30,000. If early attendance counts are accurate, the increased attendance is a likely indicator of economic improvement in the technology sector, as well as the overall economy.
