Preliminary Topics Announced for CONNECTIONS
The Digital Home Conference & Showcase will be held at the Santa
Clara Convention Center May 2-4, 2006
Dallas, Texas November 16, 2005 -Parks Associates and the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) today announced the preliminary topics and Call For Papers for the 2006 CONNECTIONS: The Digital Home Conference & Showcase. CONNECTIONS, produced by Parks Associates in conjunction with Consumer Electronics Association, will be held May 2-4, 2006, at the Santa Clara Convention Center.
Now in its tenth year, CONNECTIONS is the largest executive conference and showcase dedicated to advanced digital lifestyle solutions for residential and mobile environments. Recent research from Parks Associates, the leading market research firm in this area, points to significant growth opportunities within these industries in the coming years.
Specifically, Parks Associates' analysts project the following:
The number of broadband households with a residential gateway (RG) will reach 47 million by 2010, driven in large part by carrier needs to acquire and retain customers and build ARPU from new revenue-generating services.
Television manufacturers will see a surge in cumulative HDTV sales over the next few years, which will boost the overall market value to $65 billion by 2009.
The number of U.S. households with a networked storage device will grow from 300,000 at the end of 2004 to nearly 10 million by 2010.
Cumulative shipments of portable multimedia players will top 13 million units by 2010.
By the end of 2006, the worldwide digital music market (not counting mobile) will account for 4.5% of all music sales. Digital music revenues will grow at a 57% CAGR between 2005 and 2009.
Revenues from premium VOD downloads will total $530 million at year-end 2009.
Home builders sold $11 billion worth of technology products in 2004 and expect sales to increase 10-12% in 2005.
CONNECTIONS is the principal conference to discuss both the opportunities and challenges in today's key digital lifestyle categories, said Tricia Parks, president of Parks Associates. As the first and largest executive conference and showcase focused on these industry topics, CONNECTIONS will continue to provide the best quality and content within our sessions, relevant discussions between key executives, forward-thinking keynote speakers, and great networking opportunities for marketing and strategy executives."
