Attending CES (or any large-scale event) can be a daunting task, but with proper planning, it can be an incredible experience. Here are some tips for future attendees:

  1. Have a Plan
    Map out specific areas or vendors you want to visit, based on your interests or business needs. Use the CES Mobile App to streamline your visit.

  2. Logistics and Transportation
    CES is distributed across multiple locations in Las Vegas. Plan for transportation between venues—walking isn’t feasible. Familiarize yourself with Uber or shuttle services ahead of time.

  3. Comfort is Key
    You’ll be on your feet all day, so wear comfortable shoes. Be prepared to walk extensively and carry essentials like water and snacks.

  4. Budget for Food and Extras
    Las Vegas expenses can add up. Factor in food, transportation, and any extras in your budget.

  5. Plan for Delays
    Arrive early, and expect lines at popular exhibits. Planning for delays ensures you won’t miss critical sessions or booths.

  6. Networking Opportunities
    Research companies ahead of time and schedule meetings if possible. Building connections at CES can lead to valuable collaborations.
