Talking refrigerators, flying taxis, supercute robots and more! The Consumer Electronics Show aka CES is finally upon us, and for the 182,000 people about to descend upon the world’s largest technology show, they’re in for a fun week. The show officially runs Tuesday, January 8 through Friday, January 11, but press begin arriving today to preview the hottest gadgets. Some mainstays are noticeably absent this year like Gibson who had a full roster of rock stars last year including Tommy Shaw of Styx and Iggy Azalea. It’s also not clear if anything is going to top Intel’s breathtaking reveal of drones hauntingly dropping down on the Bellagio fountains. It could very well be a quiet year where the major players sit this one out and leave room for a breakout hit to come from the over 4400 companies exhibiting across 24 product categories. Another marked difference from 2018 is the increase in diversity of the speaker mix. Of the , nearly 400 appear to be women (including me!), that’s in sharp contrast to the zero women keynotes of 2018. There’s also a bonus that’s offering two days of panels featuring high profile female entertainment executives and a special “Girls Gone Walking” floor tour at the show opening led by Engadget and Quartz. The event is impressively sponsored by dozens of leading brands including NBC, Facebook, Spotify, L’Oreal, Viacom, Twitter, Hulu,The New York Times, Quartz, and Google. Seems like progress. 1000 speakers Female Quotient Girls’ Lounge Celebrities making appearances include Arianna Huffington, Jenny McCarthy, Jack Dorsey, Nolan Bushnell, Steve Harvey, Dr. Oz and Daughtry. Additionally, blockchain billionaires will be front and center at the where I’ll be onstage interviewing Brock Pierce and other crypto pioneers for .
