Let’s Get Rolling with CES 2018

In addition to resolutions and new beginnings, there's something else that keeps us excited every January - the Consumer Electronics Show. From smart cities to digital health at the forefront this year, we can't wait for CES 2018 to begin.

Let’s Get Rolling with CES 2018

“Innovation is one of our greatest tools for improving lives and protecting the environment for generations to come,” said Gary Shapiro, president and CEO, CTA. “As our report details, consumer technology companies are helping reduce waste, combat climate change and improve energy efficiency – all while meeting consumer demand for the latest and greatest technology. Our devices are getting smaller and lighter and using fewer materials and less energy. The tech industry’s commitment to addressing environmental challenges has never been more apparent.”

With that said, we begin our CES 2018 journey which we expect to be just as exciting as it always is. This year, vehicle tech, smart cities, and health technology have been in the limelight of the show and we can’t wait to start with the Intel Keynote Address: How Data is Shaping Innovation of the Future. LG, Toyota, BrainCo, Sony, Hyundai, Qualcomm and more big brands are coming up with their biggest announcements of the year today. What do we expect to see? Well, CES has always been surprising us with never-before-seen innovations and this year is no different. Take a look at all the gadgets that have been announced before the event even begins.
