Are you finally over the New Year hysteria?
If not, you still have time to regain sanity as we head into the week of CES 2020. Tomorrow, CES® 2020, the world’s largest and most influential tech event, will unlock thousands of opportunities for technology innovation companies and consumers. If you miss it, you risk staying unprepared in the disruptive world of consumer electronics products.
In this article leading up to the event kick-off tomorrow, we thought of highlighting the key CES 2020 themes. These themes showcase the new transformative avenues in the worlds of AI, Robotics, TV and Audio electronics, AR VR, and Smart Cities. With over 4000+ exhibitors demonstration 20,000+ technologies, products, and ideas, we think it made sense to pick the top themes you can’t miss during the event.
Here’s a hand-picked list of themes, speaker sessions, and meetings at CES 2020.
Start-up Zones and Non-Traditional Businesses
Expect some very unique presentations from Bell, Impossible Foods, John Deere, NBCUniversal, P&G, and WWE.
This year, we will see new exhibitors such as Abbott, Bridgestone, Delta Air Lines, DuPont, Humana, and Weber. In all, CES 2020 will feature 1,550+ totally new exhibitors and product lines.
