CEA advocates on behalf of the CE industry internationally and works to help members navigate global markets. 

Goals include:

• Developing strategic partnerships around the globe to help identify OEM (original equipment manufacturer) partners and other manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and other key players.
• Providing access to the OEM partners, distributors, retailers, manufacturers and other key players through programs and events.
• Advocating policies that open those markets.

Cultivating partnerships and finding specific overseas trade show opportunities are key components to our success.
