Why CES Continues to Inspire Me
Every January, Las Vegas becomes much more than an entertainment destination. It transforms into the place where tomorrow is introduced to the world. For a few remarkable days, visionaries, entrepreneurs, engineers, inventors, investors, and members of the media gather to share ideas that will shape the way we live, work, and communicate for years to come.
I've had the privilege of covering CES in the past, and each visit has left me with the same feeling: genuine excitement about what's possible. Walking the exhibit halls, speaking with innovators, and witnessing breakthrough technologies before they reach the marketplace is an experience unlike any other.
Throughout my career, I've covered a variety of technology conferences, including AI4, one of the premier events dedicated to artificial intelligence. AI4 brings together many of the brightest minds in AI and offers incredible insight into one of the fastest-growing industries in the world. Yet CES is something entirely different. Its reach extends across virtually every sector of technology, creating an atmosphere where innovation is not confined to a single industry but celebrated across them all.
What makes CES truly remarkable is that it creates opportunities. Startups stand beside internationally recognized brands. Entrepreneurs meet investors. Engineers meet customers. Partnerships are formed, products are launched, and ideas become businesses. Every booth represents years of dedication, creativity, and problem-solving, and every conversation has the potential to change the future.
As the Executive Producer of MY AZ TV and the host of Tech Talk Tuesday, I believe that every innovative company deserves the opportunity to tell its story. Technology isn't simply about devices or software. It's about the people behind the innovation, the challenges they've overcome, and the impact they're making around the world.
I am excited to return to CES 2027, taking place January 6 through January 9, 2027, and I'm looking forward to meeting the innovators who are redefining what's possible.
An Invitation to CES Exhibitors
If your company will be exhibiting at CES 2027, I invite you to connect with me before the event. I'd be honored to feature your business, your technology, or your team on Tech Talk Tuesday through MY AZ TV, helping introduce your story to an even broader audience. A great product deserves more than a crowded booth. It deserves a compelling story that continues reaching people long after the convention doors close.
Whether you're launching your first innovation or unveiling the next industry-changing breakthrough, I want to help share your vision with the world.
Technology moves forward because people dare to imagine what doesn't yet exist. CES is where many of those ideas take their first steps onto the global stage.
I look forward to meeting the innovators, entrepreneurs, and visionaries who will define tomorrow. I'll see you in Las Vegas.
