CES 2027
CES 2027 runs from 6 to 9 January 2027 at the Las Vegas Convention Center and additional venues across Las Vegas. Produced by the Consumer Technology Association, it is the world's largest and most influential technology trade show, spanning consumer electronics, semiconductors, automotive technology, digital health, AI and robotics.
Event details
Who attends
CES draws retail buyers, distributors, manufacturers, media and investors in roughly equal measure, which is what makes it hard to work. A stand will see a chain buyer, a component supplier, a journalist and a venture investor within the same hour, and the follow-up each needs is completely different. International delegations are heavy, so language and time zones complicate post-show contact. The practical consequence is that capturing a name is not enough: you need to know, by the time you leave Las Vegas, which of the four groups each contact belonged to.
What's on the programme
- Exhibition spread across the Las Vegas Convention Center and several additional official venues
- Themed zones covering mobility, digital health, AI and startup innovation
- A conference programme running alongside the exhibition
- Four days, with media days preceding the main opening
Working the floor
- CES is spread across multiple venues and shuttle times between them are long. Staff cannot easily hand off a lead mid-day, so each person needs to capture independently into a shared list.
- The sheer volume means notes written at the end of the day are guesses. Capture context at the moment of the conversation or lose it.
- Badge scanning is offered by the organiser but the data arrives in their format and on their schedule. An independent capture you own is worth keeping alongside it.
- Many visitors are international and will not respond to a US-hours follow-up call. Record the country and preferred channel while you have them.
Capturing leads at CES
Cards collected at a booth are worth nothing until they are typed up, and most never are. Karo turns a photo of a card into a CRM-ready contact inside WhatsApp or Telegram, with a voice note attached for the context you will have forgotten by the evening. Every seat on the stand captures into one shared list, tagged by event, exportable the day the hall closes.
