The biggest tech event of the year just got bigger. Over 130,000 attendees, 4000 exhibitors, and more disruptive innovation than even 2.5 million square feet of Las Vegas can contain. The trends which emerge here are those which will set the tone for the year to come and AI is in everything.
Keynote speeches from the CEOs of Siemens, L’Oreal and Walmart talked about the next generation of retail, and in the C Space Studio, the hot topic was the disruptive trends which are changing the future of advertising, brand marketing and entertainment.
There was also the Annual Women Walk the Floor Tour – two hundred powerful women walking the floor together, organized by The Female Quotient, whose mission is to change the reality that only 2% of all VC funding, only 12% of all AI researchers and only 33% of the employees at large tech companies are women.
All the latest tech gadgets were there too, of course. Popular in the crowd was Urtopia’s high tech ebikes, which come with fully integrated ChatGPT, Moonwalkers, shoes with built-in wheels that speed up walking, Squad Mobility’s tiny solar-powered electric vehicle, a two screen laptop from ASUS that everyone’s going to want, and an underwater scooter that doubles up as an electric outboard motor.
