in Phoenix. (i-stage)
Get ready to see some new products next month. You may have heard of them, but it's likely one (or more) will be household names down the road.
The Consumer Electronics Association today (Sept. 24) unveiled its list of finalists for its i-stage competition. The 11 finalists will show off their creations at CEA's Industry Forum on October 19 in Phoenix.
The second annual i-stage event will be held at the Arizona Grand Resort.
What's at stake? Quite possibly the future success of any of the companies exhibiting. Boxee, which won the first i-stage event a year ago, picked up more than $10 million in venture capital. BusinessWeek magazine put the Boxee on its list of the "20 Most Important Inventions of the Next Ten Years."
First prize is $40,000 and an exhibit at the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas (Jan. 7-10). The second-place winner gets $7,500 and a spot at a CES Unveiled event in either New York (in November) or Las Vegas (in January).
There's also a prize for "fan favorite," an award chosen by the audience. The fan fave gets $2,500 and a booth at one of the CES Unveiled events.
The International CES is where entrepreneurs make deals and do business, and CEA's i-stage is a launch pad for innovative companies to display cool products on the CES showfloor. These finalists are taking technology trends to the next level and will shape the future of how consumers work and play." - Gary Shapiro, CEA's president and CEO
