Get ready to dive into the latest trends in technology at the 2025 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas from January 7-10, 2025. It’s the event that showcases the leaders in the tech industry and startups.
The tech industry has gone through so many changes over the years and change is nothing new to CES. Over the 20 years I have attended the show, I have seen CES evolve and adapt to these changes. It held up through a bad economy, the COVID outbreak, expansions to the Las Vegas Convention Center, are just a few of them. So when CES kicks off in a few days, the old logo will be replaced by a new logo design, shared by CES and CTA, that reflects their new branding – Refreshed. Recreated. reimagined.
What can we expect to see at CES this year? A continuation from last year will be a focus on AI technology. Gadgets and products galore, from fitness to gaming and everything in between, there will be so much to check out. Previous years there was a focus on 3D printing, virtual reality, autonomous vehicles, health, nft, and digital currency are just a few examples. The focus and growth of these industries was so great that they had areas dedicated to these advancements over the years.
This might also be the largest CES has ever been as it will encompass the entire Las Vegas Convention Center (North, South, West, Central halls, plus the outside lot), Venetian Expo, Westgate, Aria, Vdara, Cosmopolitan, and Park MGM. Not including the venues that other companies are using during CES, while not being directly associated with CES.

As usual, I have some booth and suite appointments confirmed at CES, but will also be attending a few offsite parties like Pepcom and Showstoppers. Now the CES exhibit halls officially open on Tuesday, January 7. However, the day before is Media Day and there are press conferences with some of the biggest tech companies announcing new products and future plans. So follow our X account (formerly Twitter), as I should have some very cool tech stuff to report on from the show.
