The world’s biggest technology show saw a great range of products launched earlier in January at Las Vegas. The entire city was buzzing with amazing technology.

“We have a very simple mission at Consumer Technology Association and that is we focus on innovation. The technology unveiled at CES is improving the lives of all citizens of the world. Global Innovation is a topic I am extremely passionate about and that is what this show is about and I am very pleased to talk about these things in CTA’s new book called Ninja Future- Secrets of success in the new world of Innovation” added the President and CEO Gary Shapiro.

Executive Vice President Karen Chupka spoke about CES being the largest influential technology event where International business is done. She added that they had 155 countries, regions and territories at the show including 4400 exhibitors.
