Last day for Las Vegas’ largest convention, the Consumer Electronic Show (January 8-11, 2019). Are you CES Ready? Hashtag: #CES2019
Official spin: “CES is the world’s gathering place for all those who thrive on the business of consumer technologies. It has served as the proving ground for innovators and breakthrough technologies for 50 years — the global stage where next-generation innovations are introduced to the marketplace. Owned and produced by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), it attracts the world’s business leaders and pioneering thinkers.”
Our take – the event is one of the most successful trade shows in the world. It is well-managed and generates an abundance of headlines. Livestreaming video gives front-row seats to remote viewers.
