"I'm on my way to Las Vegas for CES. Just like every year for the past seven, I'm starting my January by attending the preeminent global tech event where among a few other things, AI may be discussed. I'll bring you my observations, thoughts, and usual skepticism. And talk about why CES is not important just to consumer tech but to legal and legal tech as well."
"But for some 150,000 of us, it means it's time for CES, the mammoth nonstop conference, show, parties, and sales pitches stretching from one end of Las Vegas to the other. It's labeled the "world's premier technology tradeshow" by the show's producer, the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), North America's largest tech trade association. I can't dispute that CES is the largest and certainly the most well-known tech trade show."
"The show starts on January 4 with two full media days, followed by four days of educational sessions, keynotes, press conferences, and multiple exhibit halls that will likely feature the wares of over 4,500 exhibitors along with some 140,000 if not more attendees. (See CTA 2025 Audit Statements housed on the CES media website for last year's numbers.) I will be there for as much of it as I can do for Above the Law and offering my insights and thoughts along the way."
CES occurs each January in Las Vegas and draws roughly 140,000–150,000 attendees and over 4,500 exhibitors across media days, keynotes, educational sessions, press conferences, and exhibit halls. Consumer technology developments showcased at CES frequently influence legal practice and legal technology, including conversations about AI. The event serves as a platform for announcements, networking, and market signals that affect multiple sectors. The narrator attends annually, brings observations and skepticism, and connects CES relevance to legal tech experience, noting intense planning demands for organizers and the event's role in setting tech trends.
