My Notes from CES 2024

I was once again able to attend the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and serve as an executive show floor guide. Thanks to StoryTech and Lori H. Schwartz for the continued opportunity to partner.

I love the opportunities that this positioning afford me: 1) Learning firsthand from both the suppliers and consumers in the space, and 2) building new relationships. My personality is made for innovation-on-display events like CES.

This year, thanks to my joint venture with Hearst Media Production Group (HMPG) and my HMPG partner Maria Thrasher, I was able to share the concept of our upcoming show “Inventing Tomorrow” with media executives who have helped shape the show as well as share the opportunity with potential brand partners.

With incredible gratitude regarding the entire experience,
