Submission Guidelines

Tips for Success

• Diverse perspectives. CTA believes the most dynamic and visionary programs are those that reflect diverse perspectives.  We are committed to amplifying and showcasing diversity and inclusion on the CES speaker stage, and on all of the panels that make up the CES conference experience. To aid in enriching the CES conference experience, CTA is seeking submissions from companies and subject matter experts who actively endeavor to make diversity a priority.

• A thoughtful application. Please review the submission questions (PDF) before starting the application.

• Knowledge of the CES audience! The CES audience is comprised of qualified consumer technology industry attendees looking for real B2B applications. CES is not a consumer show.

• A vision for the industry. Compelling case studies, research or narrative that presents a vision for the industry. We are not looking for companies to pitch products or services.

• An individual may submit up three topics (each a separate application).

• No more than five TOTAL speaker applications per company, please. We recommend coordinating applications within your organization prior to submitting.

• Note: The form must be completed in a single session. There is not an opportunity to edit your submission after completion. Incomplete submissions will not be considered.

Selection Process

Speaker Review and Selection Process

The CES Advisory Board is comprised of the industry’s most credible and distinguished thought leaders throughout various areas of technology. The Advisory Board counsels CTA on the strategic direction for the conference program, speaker recommendations, and content themes and provides insight into the research community.

CTA strives to deliver one of the most empirical speaker selection processes in the industry. The best submissions demonstrate the speaker is a catalyst for innovation and change and an influencer in the industry.

Speakers for CES 2019 will be independently selected based on area of expertise.

Applicants will be notified by Oct. 12, 2018.
