Several Philadelphia-area companies will have exhibitor booths at CES, which kicks off in Las Vegas this Wednesday.
Arguably the consumer technology industry’s largest gathering, CES has more than 200 Fortune 500 companies registered and 44 different tech categories showcased this year. At the three-day festival, some of the biggest names in tech will unveil new product releases and prototypes.
While some tech giants like Apple skip CES in favor of their own headline-making events, others like Philadelphia-based Comcast Corp. (NASDAQ: CMCSA) are keeping their eyes on the exhibitor floor. Comcast’s NBCUniversal Sports Tech fund will have a booth at the conference, as will Comcast Technology Solutions, the company’s media innovation team.
CES will host more than 2,200 exhibitor booths, and six will be held by Philadelphia-area companies. They are:
