LAS VEGAS: The CES 2019 gadget show opened its doors Jan 8, with tech companies from giants to tiny startups showing off their latest products and services.
In recent years, CES’s influence has declined as Apple, Google and other major companies throw their own events to launch new wares. Still, more than 180,000 people from about 150 countries are expected to attend. The sprawling event spans 11 official venues, plus scores of unofficial ones throughout Las Vegas. The four-day show in Las Vegas opened after two days of media previews.
