How are speakers selected?
Once the topics and sessions of the International CES Conference Program have been finalized, we look at the Call for Speakers entries for logical placements. Speakers are then selected based on their topic knowledge and prominence in their field. We also receive moderator recommendations for panelists.
Please know our program is largely comprised in panel format. There are rarely solo presenter opportunities.[return to question list]
I submitted a Call for Speakers form. When will I be notified if I was chosen to speak?
All Call for Speakers entries will be answered by September 30, 2011.
