CES (formerly an initialism for Consumer Electronics Show) is an annual trade show organized by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA). Held in January at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Winchester, Nevada, United States, the event typically hosts presentations of new products and technologies in the consumer electronics industry.
The first CES was held in June 1967 in New York City. It was a spinoff from the Chicago Music Show, which, until then, had served as the main event for exhibiting consumer electronics. The event had 17,500 attenders and over 100 exhibitors; the kickoff speaker was Motorola chairman Bob Galvin. From 1978 to 1994, CES was held twice each year: once in January in Las Vegas known for Winter Consumer Electronics Show (WCES) and once in June in Chicago, known as Summer Consumer Electronics Show (SCES).
Today, CES is the largest and most influential tech event in the world. Each year in Las Vegas, major players in the tech industry unveil cutting-edge consumer products. Many may think of CES as a show for flashy gadgets and drones, but attendees will also find a variety of products on display from sports tech to manufacturing solutions that can help tech entrepreneurs bring their ideas to market.
