CES Unveiled Europe is expected to gather hundreds of key figures from the tech industry, including industry leaders, government officials, media representatives, and investors, all converging to explore the innovative spirit that defines the region. With more than 20 speakers lined up, discussions will revolve around how Europe can navigate the challenges and opportunities present in today's dynamic technological landscape. Gary Shapiro, CEO of CTA, emphasized the vital role of innovation during difficult times, stating, "When the going gets tough, innovators show up. Innovation knows no borders, and we can't wait to witness the creativity and brilliance that Europe has to offer."
This event will also serve as a regional preview of CES 2026, which is set to return to Las Vegas from January 6-9, 2026.
