Las Vegas happens to be a great winter retreat, especially
if you’re living in a sub-zero temperature region. For the past 50 years,
electronics enthusiasts across the world have been gathering at the annual
Consumer Electronics Show to take a peek at all the newest and best technology
in the industry. Last year, over 147,000 attendees made their way to the CES to
view over 4,000 exhibiting companies and listen to over 1,200 industry expert
speakers. This year’s show is expected to be even bigger and better than 2017!
Outlined below are some of the topics and companies that will be present at
this year’s CES, which will take place from January 9th-12th
in sunny Las Vegas, Nevada.

If you’re a marketing or advertisement specialist, then CES
has something for you. Known as the C Space, visitors can learn about new
marketing trends and the influence of technology on advertising. This includes
TV advertising in the digital age. Since modern advertising depends heavily on
search engines, keywords, social media, and software developments, C Space can
be informative to just about any manufacturer or retailer, regardless of ndustry.
Spotify, Hulu, and Google will be in C Space, to name a few. No big deal.

self-driving cars. Now you can learn about how its done! View and learn about
the latest in vehicle safety features, self-driving technology, and connected
cars. Learn how autonomous vehicles are expected to operate in big cities and
get some insight into when self-driving cars will become the norm. Ford,
Nissan, Toyota, Daimler AG, and Baidu Online Network Technology will all be
present.

new products, these may be the exhibits for you. Learn about the newest 3D
printing technology, packaging, and so much more. These exhibits are known as
“Source and Design,” and are comprised of companies across the world that
specialize in product design and sourcing. Over 700 exhibitors will be present
in the “Source and Design” portion of the CES, including Alibaba.com, Car-Show
Automotive Products, and Hyundai Medical Co. Ltd.

Artificial intelligence has been in the news a lot lately,
especially when it comes to new software and ordering. Some say that many
American jobs are in jeopardy due to new advances in technology. Artificial

technology and analytics. These days, its common for businesses and even
households to utilize at least one form of artificial intelligence (Siri,
anyone?).Visit these exhibits to learn about everything from self-driving
vehicles to virtual assistants. AI exhibitors include Yamaha Motor Company and
Horizons Robotic Co.
This year there will be about 11 solar exhibitors present at
