Watch our exclusive interview with Gary Shapiro, CEO and Vice Chair of the Consumer Technology Association, owner and producer of CES.


With 142K+ attendees, 4500+ exhibitors and 305 of Fortune 500 companies, CES is the most powerful #tech event in the world. But every great success story has #challenges to get there.


When the team ran out of space, they made a bold move—building their own convention center in Las Vegas. That decision turned CES into a #global stage for tech #visionaries. Gary also spoke about key #pivots, like charging for entry when others stayed free- a risky call that ultimately paid off.


CES went on to secure major sponsors and keynote speakers like Bill Gates and Larry Ellison. Fast forward to CES 2025, the lineup remains world-class: Jensen Huang (and his iconic new #jacket), Ed Bastian, Tekedra N. Mawakana, and Linda Yaccarino among others.


We also discussed the ongoing revolutions in #AI and #robotics, including key announcements from CES 2025- such as Jensen’s vision for NVIDIA’s future and Peter Koerte’s unveiling of Siemens’ Industrial AI strategy.


And for all the young #entrepreneurs out there, we also asked Gary for his best #advice in today's fast-moving world.
