CES 2016. The just-completed version of CES has broken records across the board and provided unprecedented opportunities for companies large and small as a stage to launch their innovations for the global market.
More than 3,800 exhibitors unveiled their latest technologies in more than 2.47 million net square feet of exhibition space. CES 2016 touched every major global industry and showcased the latest wave of products and technologies connecting the world, improving lives and solving global challenges.
More than 170,000 industry professionals, including more than 50,000 from outside the U.S., were drawn to this high-level business event driving the ever-changing global technology industry.
At the end of the show, Gary Shapiro, president and CEO of the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), formerly the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), said: "It was impressive to see traditional and non-traditional 'technology' industries come together to exchange ideas and collaborate on ways to do business and address global issues. CES has established itself as the global meeting place for all industries that will be stunned by the tens of thousands of ways technology is changing the world as we know it."
CES once again confirmed its position as the global innovation stage, with attendees from more than 150 countries and more than 100 official delegations, including the first Cuban delegation organized by the U.S. Embassy of Cuba.
From automotive technology and unmanned systems to wearables and 3D printing, the breadth and depth of innovation on display at CES is unmatched and growing.
While attendance figures hit an all-time high, improvements to show operations allowed attendees to navigate CES 2016 with ease. For the first time, Uber and Lyft were allowed to operate in Las Vegas, increasing transportation options for attendees.
CES will return to Las Vegas between January 5 and 8, 2017.
