Where social media is concerned, everyone's talking, but it doesn't have to be behind your back. This year CES created Social Circle, a way to capture all the data, buzz and media blitz around brands, products and personalities at the show. The site captures real time data from Twitter, Flickr and across the blogosphere anytime someone mentions the world's largest display of consumer technology. Check out the buzz on your company or product by adding a name to the end of this custom web address.

A Message From

Dan Cole Vice President, Sales and Business Development We All Finished in First Place by Dan Cole Wow. I have the same feeling now that I had the moments and days after my first marathon two years ago.Exhilarated. Proud. Worn down but charged up. Impressed with my own accomplishments and excited for the thousands around me who must be feeling the same way. I can feel the energy and the momentum continue now that the 2010 International CES has come to a close – just the way I felt it at that Marine Corp Marathon finish line. Wow. Look at what we did: Together, we launched roughly 20,000 new products into the marketplace. Together, we engaged more than 125,000 consumer technology professionals in business over the course of four days. Together, we filled more than 1.4 million square feet of exhibit space, allowing you to say you participate in the success of the world’s largest consumer technology tradeshow. Together, we provided interviews and buzz to generate well over 5,000 news articles and countless more blog posts, Tweets and other social media and online communications. Together, we crossed the finish line with great success. I would like to extend sincere and heartfelt thanks to every exhibit manager, every executive, and every booth staffer – EVERYONE – who was involved somehow in the exhibiting side of CES. Without you, our success is impossible. Without you, the consumer electronics industry wouldn’t thrive and change and grow the way it does. I’ll give you a little time to relax and soak in your outstanding accomplishments, but I want to let you know, too, that our sights are already set on next year. We’re excited for returning successes such as the hugely popular iLounge Pavilion and eBooks TechZone and are in the works preparing new floor destinations for emerging technology like digital signage. My running shoes are on, I’m already looking forward to the starting gate, and I’m excited and eager for you to join me. Sincerely,   Dan Cole
