At CES 2014 we at Mobile Nations teamed up with our friends at Geek Beat to bring you #CESlive, a unique live broadcast running every day from the show floor at CES 2014 — and CES 2015 is going to be even bigger than before. For #CESlive 2015 you can add Tom's Guide to the mix, with Editor-in-Chief Mark Spoonauer joining Geek Beat's Cali Lewis and John Pozadzides and iMore's Rene Ritchie in hosting more than 80 interviews direct from the Las Vegas Convention Center. It's going to be bigger and better than ever!
This is, of course, complimentary to our usual coverage of what's new and happening from the CES show floor, live events, and everything else that goes down that week in Vegas (it's the one week where everything that happens in Vegas doesn't stay there). We'll be bringing you more details as we get closer to CES 2015 — that's January 6-9, so mark your calendars now — but in the meantime you can check out the press release below for more details.
And if you're at all interested in sponsoring #CESlive 2015, interviews, or product demo opportunities, be sure to let us know!
Geek Beat, Tom's Guide, and Mobile Nations Join Forces for #CESlive 2015
Premier technology publications team up to produce live programming at the 2015 International Consumer Electronics Show
NEW YORK, NY (October 21, 2014) –Geek Beat, Tom's Guide, and Mobile Nations today announced their partnership to bring #CESlive 2015 to consumer tech enthusiasts across the globe.
Now in its second year, #CESlive 2015 is a live show broadcasted directly from the south hall of the 2015 International CES in Las Vegas, NV, (January 6-9, 2015). Its unique programming will feature in-depth interviews and insight from the foremost names in consumer technology about the latest products, news, and trends from the event.
