Owned and produced by CEA, CES 2016 will take place Wednesday, January 6-Saturday, January 9, 2016, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

“CES is not just about entertainment products and services; we're seeing cutting edge technology which helps mankind and betters our world,” said Gary Shapiro, president and CEO, CEA. “We are excited to tell this story to CES attendees and the global audience we reach to reinforce that CES is the home for life-changing tech that improves lives today and can solve global issues tomorrow.”
