Mid-West Technology Companies Unveil Innovation at the 2011 International CES
More than 130 technology companies based in the mid-western region of the United States (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin) will showcase their latest consumer electronics (CE) products at the 2011 International CES®. The world’s largest consumer technology tradeshow, the 2011 International CES, will run January 6-9, 2011 and is expecting 2,500 exhibitors and more than 120,000 attendees from more than 130 countries.
“CES gives thousands of key industry influencers and decision makers the opportunity to see many of our newest products first hand,” said John Potts, senior vice president of Aurora, Illinois based Peerless Industries. “This provides our organization with instant feedback that is invaluable to our success in the marketplace. We have direct access to show existing customers, prospects, executives and buyers our entire product offering, which is simply not possible in an office setting or on a sales call.”
CES will feature 20 market-specific TechZones, including new destinations: 3D@Home, with content creators, service providers and TV manufacturers that make 3D in the home a reality; Access on the Go, with devices changing the way content is accessed, showcasing the most innovative devices in eBooks, netbooks, smartbooks and tablets; Broadband Communications highlighting the role of the underlying infrastructure in expanding broadband capacity; and Connected Home Appliances which will bring white goods to the show floor for the first time in CES history, including the latest interactive, energy efficient and SmartGrid enabled appliances.

Other new TechZones include: Mobile DTV, featuring consumer devices that bring the digital living room to the car and portable devices; the Electric Vehicle TechZone highlighting a full range of high and low speed vehicles, energy storage devices and charging equipment; and Sports and Fitness Tech, focused on tools for the sports enthusiast and key trends impacting the multi-billion dollar sports, fitness and outdoors markets.
