Consumer Electronics Show This Week is a Sign of Things to Come in Tech

The 2015 Consumer Electronics Show, or CES, kicks off this week in Las Vegas

Running from Tuesday, January 6, through Friday, January 9, the 2015 CES showcases the latest tech trends on the market, as well as those that will be coming soon.

More than 160,000 attendees will be walking over 2 million square feet of exhibit space to visit with nearly 4,000 exhibitors and learn about the gadgets that will be making our life easier.  This is also the place for product launches – with tens of thousands of new product announcements being made for everything from the biggest, sharpest, and curviest new televisions to the smallest and smartest devices.

Continuing to be a popular category, wearable tech will be big this year, as will be connected tech in the automotive industry.  The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) has announced that the 2015 International CES will feature the largest ever showcase of products, services and technologies that make up the “Internet of Things” (IoT), with more than 900 exhibitors planning to share innovations that harness the power of the network to connect everyday devices.

“The ‘Internet of Things’ is the hottest topic in tech right now,” said Karen Chupka, senior vice president, International CES and corporate business strategy, CEA. “It’s all about the opportunity to connect everyday items like cars, home security systems and kitchen appliances to networked devices like PCs and smartphones for greater control and management of our everyday lives. We’re excited that the 2015 CES will bring together all of the companies and products that are making this a reality.”

Louisville Dispatch staff will be on hand at the 2015 CES to share the hottest new devices with you.
