The International Consumer Electronics Show 2010 or CES 2010, the world’s largest consumer technology trade exhibition, will open this week in Las Vegas. The show, which will run from January 7-10, 2010, will feature a record 2830 exhibitors displaying 20,000 new products and the latest technology innovations.
“With a record number of new exhibitors, scores of new product introductions, several new Spotlights on the show floor and a dynamic lineup of keynotes sessions, the 2010 International CES will be our best show yet,” said Gary Shapiro, president and CEO of the Consumer Electronic Association (CEA).

CES 2010 also promises to be the “world’s largest environmentally friendly tradeshow.” From recycling all exhibit materials at the Las Vegas Convention Center, housing exhibits at the LEED-certified The Venetian hotel, use of biodegradable napkins and utensils, and use of recycled carpets, CES leads in adopting environmentally sustainable practices.
CEA has also partnered with EarthEra, which will issue renewable energy certificates from their wind energy sources – to offset electricity and carbon emissions during the event. In a move that addressed both security and environmental concerns, CES has donated $50,000 to the to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department to purchase T-3 Motion electric vehicles and accessories.
With such laudable effort on the part of the organizers of CES 2010, I fully expect to be dazzled by the cutting edge clean technology innovations on exhibit this year. Last year, we were quite impressed by such green gadgets as the flexible OLED (organic light-emitting diodes) wrist display developed by Universal Display Corporation, Motorola’s Renew W233 (the world’s first certified Carbonfree cell phone), and the ultra-efficient Solarbulb designed by miniWIZ. With so many green tech advances announced in 2009, I’m eagerly looking forward to the new innovations that will be unveiled this week.
“Follow Me” at CES 2010
To help participants navigate through the labyrinthine exhibit area and enhance their CES 2010 experience, a new mobile phone application for your smartphone called “Follow Me” has been introduced recently by Core-Apps LLC. “Follow Me” can help organize and schedule trade show information, store exhibitor information, navigate the exhibit area using interactive floor maps, and store complimentary coupons from local merchants. Available for $1.99 at iTunes for direct download, “Follow Me” is compatible with iPhone and iPod Touch and requires iPhone OS 3.0 or later.
