2012 Consumer Electronics Show – How Things Has Changed

written by John Chow on January 12, 2012

How to make $593 in less than one hour

It’s been fours years since I attended a Consumer Electronics Show (my last one was in 2008). Things have changed a lot in only four years. While this is the second biggest show ever in terms of floor space (over 1.6 million square feet) and the biggest in terms of attendance (over 150,000 people), there has been a huge shift in some of the industry.

For example, the entire north hall used to house all the booming car audio and hot booth babes. Now, they share half the hall with accessories made for Apple products, and Apple doesn’t even come to CES! I’ll be going out on the floor to bring you all the cool stuff. Here’s a quick “preview” video. Look for more in a few hours.

The iLounge part of North Hall has been there for at least a couple of years now. I guess there’s more money to be made in a bunch of iPod cases than in high-end car audio.

John,

Is it expensive to attend?

John Chow January 12, 2012 at 3:20 pm

@Steve @ Canadian Personal Finance I have no idea. I never paid to attend a trade show before. However, I think the show floor is free if you pre-registered. Options like conference sessions and keynotes will add to the price.
