The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is the ultimate destination for all things tech-related, and this year’s show was nothing short of spectacular. For the first time in three years, there were no pandemic-related restrictions in place, and as a result, 4,300 exhibitors from around the world attended the trade show (up from 3,200 in 2023). While the main focus is groundbreaking technology, the immersive exhibits and awe-inspiring designs are what make the CES experience truly unforgettable.
In this edition of Happy Hour, we showcase Event Marketer’s roundup of the best brand experiences and exhibit designs from CES 2024. We also feature trade show giveaways that are worth the investment and offer ideas and tips for team-building at corporate events.
