Shenzhen International Electronics & Smart Appliances Expo, known as IEAE Shenzhen, brings finished consumer electronics and small household appliances together with the manufacturers and brands behind them. It runs twice a year in Shenzhen, in spring and autumn. The floor is arranged by end product rather than by component: audio and video equipment, wearables, computers and gaming gear, phone and tablet accessories, portable energy storage, in-car electronics and smart home systems, followed by kitchen, environmental, personal care and lifestyle appliances.

The show is weighted evenly between export and domestic trade. Cross-border sellers, importers and domestic distributors all attend, and the manufacturing base sits within the same region — Shenzhen and the wider Pearl River Delta make much of what is exhibited.
