2011 International CES
The International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) returned to Las Vegas from Thursday January 6 through Sunday January 9, 2011 (www.cesweb.org).
The show is produced by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA, www.ce.org), which reports that CES continues to be the world's largest consumer technology tradeshow, and the largest tradeshow of any kind in North America.
This year saw a strong upswing in attendance to an estimated 140,00 people, up from 126,000 last year and the low of 113,000 in 2009, and back to the peak of in 2007 - 2008 -- which seriously strains the facilities and transportation in Vegas.
The exhibition was consolidated into the Las Vegas Convention Center in 2010, without using the Sands Expo, with sessions still held in the Hilton and high-performance audio in the Venetian. The number of exhibitors was estimated to be at around 2,500, with growing presence from non-U.S. companies -- spread out over an area larger than 35 (American) football fields. There were also over 20 TechZones grouping new technology markets. The fastest growing TechZone was the iLounge Pavilion, with third-party accessories and software for the Apple iPod, iPhone, iPad and Macintosh.
As in previous years, the gadget blogs and tech publications were out in force at CES, with teams live blogging the new announcements for hot-off-the-press coverage. See links below to these sources and other coverage of the show.
