For those don\u2019t know, Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is held in beginning of January every year in Las Vegas. I have been hearing about CES since I was 19 (or younger). Fortunately I was able to experience it this year (2023). They\u2019re not kidding when they say that CES \u201cis the global stage for innovation\u201d.<\/p>\n

CES is THE largest trade show of its kind in the world. And as such, more than 300 of the fortune global 500 companies were there represented by more than 170 countries. At least 60% of the registered attendees were senior-level executives. All in all, if you want partnerships and conversations with quality folks in the industry, this is the place to go.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmazing\u201c is the only word that comes to mind when experiencing the amount of innovative technologies you see there. Simply speaking, CES brings together folks from big corporations, startups, suppliers, purchasers, technology journalists, and other businesses.<\/p>\n

(Un)fortunately, CES is not open for everyone. It is only open to folks involved in the consumer electronics industry. As a result, everyone you run into there is a part of this industry in some way or the other.<\/p>\n

This year it was held from January 5th to January 8th (Thursday to Sunday). I was initially going to be there from January 6th to 8th. But later decided to go on the 5th because Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC<\/a>) was sponsoring an event related to the automotive industry on the night of 5th. I wanted to be there to support my state and hard working folks at MEDC. And I am SO glad I\u00a0went\u00a0on the 5th. I\u2019ll explain why a bit later.<\/p>\n

I went to Las Vegas Convention Center directly from the airport. First thing I did was to look for a place to check-in my bag! I didn\u2019t want to carry it \/ roll it the entire day. Luckily there was a FedEx bag check-in hub right outside the Center\/North hall entrance for a nominal fee of $5 per bag. This was quite convenient.<\/p>\n

First thing to know about CES is that it is a very big\u00a0trade\u00a0show. More than a million square feet spread across 3 halls big.<\/p>\n

After I checked-in my bag I went straight to Central Hall. Once there, one of the first things I noticed right away was a large room where LG showcased their products. In my opinion, LG had the best product showcasing at CES 2023. Imagine a 20 feet tall and 90 feet wide wall put together by 291 TVs (91 inches each). That was the entrance into their product showcasing. See the short vid below:<\/p>\n
