The very latest technology from 2,700 global companies will be unveiled and on display at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, 8-11 January 2007. This year the show will also be celebrating its 40th anniversary.
The world's largest consumer electronics tradeshow, the 2007 International CES - run by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) - will showcase consumer technologies from wireless, electronic gaming, digital imaging, home entertainment, digital audio and video, mobile electronics, broadband, content media, home networking and information technologies. Covering over 30 product and technology areas, the 2007 International CES will be spread over more than 1.6 million net square feet of exhibition space at the Las Vegas Convention Centre, the Sands Expo & Convention Centre/The Venetian and the Las Vegas Hilton. Last year's event attracted more than 150,000 attendees.

Some of the biggest names in the industry will be attending and delegates will be able to listen to keynote addresses given by Bill Gates, chairman of Microsoft Corp., Ed Zander, chairman of the board and CEO of Motorola Inc., Robert Iger, president and CEO of The Walt Disney Co, Michael Dell, chairman of Dell and Gary Shapiro president and chief executive officer (CEO) of the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA).

"We have an amazing and unprecedented lineup to kick off the 2007 International CES with industry greats Bill Gates, Ed Zander, Bob Iger and Michael Dell," said CEA's Gary Shapiro. "These four industry visionaries will present their views of where the industry - particularly digital content and entertainment - is heading from their unique positions as heads of some of the world's most influential companies."

Building on the success of last year's Innovation Plus area based at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre, the International CES has added The Venetian as the 'must see' destination for 2007. The Sands area showcases the majority of the CES TechZones, conference sessions, international pavilions and much more. Attached to the Sands, The Venetian is the new home for keynote addresses and high-performance audio & home theatre exhibits.
