Executive Summary

This year, more than 180,000 tech enthusiasts from 160 countries descended upon Las Vegas for CES 2019, the world’s largest technology exhibition. Over the course of four days, attendees toured more than 2.9 million square feet of exhibit space, demoed products from more than 4,400 companies and heard global technology leaders present their visions of the future in more than 250 conference sessions. While some of the innovations and big ideas were aspirational, others are already transformative. This report provides highlights of the most promising technology trends and explains why marketers should be paying attention.

What was new at CES this year?

Exhibitors focused on how these technologies—including 5G wireless connectivity, voice assistants, artificial intelligence (AI), the internet of things (IoT)—are evolving to connect people and technology in life-changing ways.

How will these technologies change the way businesses operate?
