“We already can feel the enthusiasm surrounding the 2012 International CES as we gear up for innovative new exhibit areas that reflect the dynamic CE industry,” says Karen Chupka, senior vice president, events and conferences, CEA. “More than 20,000 new products are expected to launch at the 2012 CES, along with new attractions such as the Eureka! Park and PMA@CES TechZones, reinforcing the International CES as the most important global business event of the year.”

Organizers changed the schedule format for CES 2012: the show will run Tuesday through Friday (Jan. 10-13). This could help keep the show floor packed on the final day, which typically is vacant.
