Arlington, Virginia - 12/10/2009
More than 120 technology companies based in the southern region of the United States will showcase their latest consumer electronics (CE) products at the 2010 International CES® – the world’s largest consumer technology tradeshow. The 2010 International CES runs January 7-10 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Among more than 2,500 CES exhibitors, a record number of first time exhibitors are expected to reveal their latest CE products to more than 110,000 attendees.
“We’re excited to participate in the 2010 International CES, where we will be introducing the next generation of COOL-ER ereader,” said Neil Jones, founder and CEO of Miami based Interead. “Ereaders are one of the most exciting gadgets around, and true to our ‘by readers, for readers’ ethos, we’ll be welcoming bestselling author guests to do signings--of ebooks!--at CES.”
The 2010 CES will host new CE Spotlights on the show floor, including new destinations: EHX@CES, a dedicated show experience with free manufacturer training, an exclusive attendee reception, complimentary access to the high-performance audio demo rooms and CE Pro Headquarters; iLounge Pavilion will feature iPod, iPhone and Macintosh related products and technologies; and Living in Digital Times, which turns the concept of a traditional exhibit upside-down with focus on technology that’s relevant to particular lifestyles. After successful launches of Kids@Play and the Silvers Summit, Living in Digital Times is now adding the Digital Health Summit, Mommy Tech and HigherEd TechZones.
“CES is the flagship place where consumers and electronics professionals converge to interact, evaluate and experience first-hand the latest technology and innovation in audio, video, networking, control and emerging automation technology,” said Hassan Hares, president of Bradenton, Florida based ekeyUSA. “With this year’s EHX participation, CES is our venue of choice for showing and launching the latest ekey innovation in fingerprint solutions. This year we are launching the integrated door handle with a concealed fingerprint scanner, and weather resistant Bio-entry system with ekey fingerprint scanner, Camera, Intercom and keypad that is suitable for inside and outside installation and usage.”
Other must-see attractions at the 2010 CES include: The Gaming Showcase featuring gaming hardware and software with the entire range of consumer electronics products — from online PC and HD gaming, plasma HDTV and home theater furniture to surround sound and power conditioning hardware; Location Based Services,(LBS) which includes the Safe Driver TechZone, serves as the premiere location for providers of custom technologies, services and advertising sent to portable and in-car navigation devices, based on their current locations; and Sustainable Planet the hot spot for world-changing technologies, whether benefiting the environment, utilizing new forms of sustainable energy, renewing our resources, or contributing to the development of nations both on and off the grid.
“Our broad range of USB software and tools will be on display at the 2010 International CES, specifically our USB 3.0 offerings which give customers more time to focus on their product differentiation rather than on the development of the standardized USB software,” said Terry Moore, CEO of MCCI, with an office in Austin, Texas. “USB is the one physical connector customers can rely on for their devices, and MCCI understands this better than any other company.”
The 2010 International CES will host 20 market-specific TechZones throughout the Las Vegas Convention Center. These TechZones will highlight the latest in 3D Technology, Digital Health, eBooks, Netbooks, Robotics, and much more. The CES conference program kicks off on Wednesday January 6, 2010, featuring more than 250 conference sessions with 800 top tier speakers. The conference program unites the industry’s most respected experts to address the latest trends, strategies and profit opportunities in consumer technology. The 2010 program will have nine Knowledge Tracks, including; Emerging Technology, Home Entertainment and Lifestyle Technologies, Issues and Attitudes, In–Vehicle Technology, Just the Facts: Research, Reports and Revelation, Technology and The Environment, Wireless Communications, Wireless Retail and brand new UP NEXT at CES: Creativity, Content and Cash.
“Judging from the increased visibility and high quality of leads Grass Roots received from attending last year’s CES show, we anticipate the 2010 International CES to be the perfect environment to demonstrate our global channel incentive solutions,” said Stephen Humphreys, president and chief executive officer of Grass Roots America, based in Miami, Florida. “There is no other technology show in the world that allows us to access such a comprehensive gathering of prospects and opportunities.”
