Join the "No CES" Club

By Paul Kedrosky · December 20, 2007 · ·

I’m discovering that I’mno-ces not the only one not going to the massive Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas early next month. Dating myself, I know, but I found it more interesting and useful a decade ago. Now it seems noisy, over-crowded, low signal, and generally like Comdex circa 2000. I’m so relieved to not be going there this year that not going feels like a holiday.

More naysayers here and here.

    Thank you for saying that, Paul.
    Honestly, CES has turned into a big, noisy three ring circus. These days it’s hard to see how it benefits someone in the trade to go, and if you’re a new vendor, you have to seriously ask how many deals you need to sign to pay for the overhead for your booth.
