About the show
The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is the global stage for innovation, making it the perfect launchpad for anyone dreaming of creating a groundbreaking product. As an individual entrepreneur or early-stage innovator, CES can be a goldmine of opportunities if approached strategically. Here’s a guide to ensure you make the most of your CES experience and turn your vision into reality.
Before CES: Groundwork in 5 steps
- Clarify Your Goals
Identify what you want to achieve. Are you seeking inspiration, potential collaborators, funding, or industry insights? Your goals will define how you approach the event. - Research and Strategize
Study the CES agenda, exhibitor list, and speaker lineup. Highlight the sessions, keynotes, and booths most relevant to your product or industry. Focus on areas that align with your vision—whether it’s IoT, wearables, AI, or sustainable tech. - Prepare to Make an Impression
Even if you’re in the early stages of development, be ready to discuss your idea confidently. Craft an elevator pitch that communicates your product’s value, target market, and potential impact. If possible, create a simple one-pager or a prototype to share during conversations. - Network Before the Event
Use platforms like LinkedIn or CES’s networking tools to connect with attendees, exhibitors, and speakers. Briefly introduce yourself and your goals, and request short meetings. Early outreach shows initiative and sets the stage for meaningful discussions at the event. - Pack Thoughtfully
Bring business cards, a notebook, and any supporting materials, such as a prototype or concept visuals. Be prepared to showcase your idea at a moment’s notice.
