Arlington, VA—The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) opened registration for the 2014 International CES, a leading innovation event scheduled for January 7–10, 2014 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
New badges will be used for the 2014 CES that employ Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, with the goal of reducing lines while adding more badge functionality and greater ease of use for attendees and exhibitors. For the 2014 CES, badges will not be mailed to registrants in advance. Instead, attendees will pick up their badges at more than 25 designated locations in Las Vegas. Key pickup locations include McCarran International Airport baggage claim areas, official show hotels and 2014 CES exhibit venues.
“This new badge process demonstrates another way that we are leveraging technology to make the CES experience better and more streamlined for CES attendees,” said Karen Chupka, senior vice president, International CES and corporate business strategy. “Reduced wait times for badges means that our attendees can spend more time networking, doing deals, seeing the future on the exhibit floor and attending our world-class conference sessions.
“With more than 3,200 exhibitors and every major tech company expected to participate, CES will bring decision makers from all of the major industries that touch technology together in one place to experience the latest in innovation.”
Attendees are encouraged to register in advance of the 2014 International CES to ensure minimal wait times on-site for their badge. cesweb.org
