Hello, Quartz Index readers!
The largest consumer electronics trade show, once called the Consumer Electronics Show and now simply CES, is set to take place once again in Las Vegas, Nevada, next week. Officially, the convention gets underway on Jan. 9, but press events and previews begin Sunday, Jan. 7.
The show, which started in 1967, now annually attracts nearly 200,000 people to the desert city, has been criticized for becoming rather rote in recent years, with unending minor updates to existing products, or fanciful concepts that never make it to the shelves. Some think this year will be different, but there’s only one way to find out.
Quartz technology reporters Mike Murphy, Dave Gershgorn, and Michael Coren, along with technology editor Matt Quinn, will be there to wade through the e-junk and find out what new gadgets will be setting the tone for the year ahead in technology (follow each of them on Twitter for real-time updates).
Even if you’re not one of the thousands of tech and media industry professionals descending on Las Vegas next week, you’ll probably spend the rest of the year talking about and using the technology featured there.
Sign up for our CES Brief to sort through the noise and experience the event through the eyes of our tech team. —Quartz
