Seen Snooki, Tim Tebow, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Ludacris, Dr. Oz, Carrot Top, Arianna Huffington or Danny DeVito recently? If so, you must be in Las Vegas.
Entertainers, manufacturers, retailers and analysts are all making their way to Las Vegas for the 2013 International CES (Consumer Electronics Show.) Covering a record amount of space this year, CES will open with more than 1.87 million net square feet of exhibits covering entertainment, photo, video, computers, and communications devices of every type.
Events kicked off today with specialty conferences like Storage Visions, being held across from the convention center in the Riviera Hotel and Casino. Leaders from entertainment and storage manufacturers discussed the increased need of faster and larger storage to satisfy today’s content producers. [Read more about the Storage Visions show here.}
More than 20,000 new products are scheduled to be debuted at this year’s show. In order to promote their products, many manufacturers are bringing well known celebrities to perform or for “meet and greats”.
