Human Security for All

Safeguarding the Human Experience Through Technology

The message is universal. With unprecedented global challenges, the Human Security for All (HS4A) campaign serves to cultivate collaboration and innovation across all industries, all countries, to improve the human experience. The Consumer Technology Association, producer of CES, is proud to be part of this first-of-its-kind partnership.

How Can This Partnership and Initiative Enhance Humankind?

Technology enables positive change that can reach all humanity. First introduced by the U.N. in 1994, the concept of human security recognizes the importance of personal wellbeing and identifies security pillars tied to an individual’s experience in life. To promote these human security tenets, the show will highlight—as a CES first—the latest tech innovations and thought leaders dedicated to solving the most serious threats facing humankind.

We invite technology leaders like you to join the best and the brightest in the industry this January to share the latest advancements across the technology ecosystem. The world is waiting for your ideas, and your business’s breakthroughs.
