JET’s Guide: What You Need to Know About CES 2024!

Overview

CES, short for the Consumer Electronics Show, is the most influential tech event held in Las Vegas every January. CES gathers all types of crowds, from manufacturers to developers, but they all share one thing in common – they are innovators. This show, owned by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA)®, focuses on a variety of different topics that can appeal to every crowd. Here is JET’s guide on what you can expect from CES 2024 happening on January 9th-12th at the Las Vegas Convention Center!

Preparing to Go

For such a huge conference, you want to make sure you are prepared to go! Starting off, make sure you are checking their website occasionally to make sure you don’t miss important updates. Next, make sure you take a look at the floorplan and agenda! The Las Vegas Convention Center is a huge space, and you want to make the most of your time learning and networking instead of wandering (but that’s not entirely bad because who knows what you could stumble upon!). Make sure you create a map ahead of time once the floorplan is out and highlight where you want to go. Be sure to also plan all your meetings at least a week in advance. By having an idea of who you want to visit and what sessions you want to attend, that’ll save you the time and stress of rushing from one side of the conference hall to another. Also keep in mind that hotels during this time book fast and rates skyrocket, so make your reservations far in advance. One last thing, you might find yourself going around endlessly as time flies – remember to eat! There are plenty of good restaurants both in the Convention Center and around it, so make sure to take advantage of the full Vegas experience by trying some new places!

Whether you want to learn more about the upcoming advances in AI or space technology, these are only a few of the many topics covered at CES.
