CES - Less than two weeks and counting
Bright and early (too early) on January 5, I fly out to Las Vegas for nearly four days of fun and excitement out at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
Saturday is "CES Unveiled," the official table-top exhibit before-the-show event put on by conference organizers. Last year the food was bad and the exhibitors weren't showing anything exciting, holding back on the goodies until Sunday and Monday.
Sunday morning, bright and early, there's "Cherry Pickers" aka the Marty Winston show. Last year, Marty opened his event with a scantily clad girl who brought him a scotch and a cigar at 9 AM in the morning. There's always a couple of interesting gizmos at Marty's dog-and-pony shows; this year I might actually get a Medis fuel cell to take home from the gig.
Sunday evening is "Digital Experience," one of two tabletop evening events for the press. Eating standing up is not a treat.
Monday is full of meetings, with Ericsson, Microsoft, Motorola, On2, Nuance, and a bunch of others on the list. In the evening, there's ShowStoppers, the second eat-while-standing tabletop press event. The ShowStoppers people have always been friendly and without pretense.
Tuesday is more meetings, between the Sands and the LVCC. There's a Sprint WiMAX vendor panel event that should be interesting and revealing.
