CES-ta

Last January, I had the privilege of attending the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. The experience was beyond description. For anyone interested in technology and its role in people’s lives, there is no better event to attend. The entire show takes up a whopping 1.7 million square feet of floor space, and nearly every inch of it is filled with HDTVs, digital cameras, computers, projectors, and bleeding edge technology that’s only just now on the horizon.

Last year, I was just a participant. This year, I’m leading the charge, organizing the agency’s presence at the show. It promises to be an eventful CES on a number of fronts. BMW will have a track – yes, a track – set up in the convention center parking lot. HD-DVD will be reeling from Warner Bros’ announcement that it is going Blu-Ray exclusive. WiMAX and Wireless USB will make incremental steps forward, and everyone will be scrambling to convince the press, analysts, and retail representatives that they have the answer to Apple’s iPhone.
