Arlington, Va., October 5, 2006 – To highlight the fact that today’s consumers want to be entertained and informed when and where they want, the 2007 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES®) today announced a new Anytime-Anywhere TechArena at Innovations Plus at the Sands. Produced by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA®), the 2007 International CES is the world’s largest consumer technology tradeshow and will be held in Las Vegas, January 8-11, 2007.
