Man we missed CES

The gratifying thing about coming out (ask a Geek I mean) is that you don't have to be a closet Technology advocate.


And so it is with a heavy heart that Agata and Marcus can almost tearfully say that we missed CES (Consumer Electronics Show) 2012.


A good place to catchup on what you have missed would be the Hak5 iTunes Podcast feed as shown above


What have we learnt?



  • CES occurs in January.   This is an awkward time for anyone celebrating Christmas and New Year.   Assuming you don't have an infinite vacation you might have cut down Christmas to make room for CES.  Tough choice.
  • CES is in Las Vegas.  We love Las Vegas!
  • A truly incredible range of products is on view and for 2013 we think a booking is a must
  • The lead time between CES and Production, especially European production is at least 6 months.

    So you need a lot of patience to wait for any CES must have technology
  • Although as consultants we normally have a less than 12 month planning horizon (for anything) we feel that CES 2013 is going to be worth an early reservation Jan 8 - Jan 11 2013
