Tips for Exhibitors at CES

CES is a competitive environment where design, storytelling, and engagement are critical. To stand out among thousands of brands, keep these best practices in mind:

• Plan early: CES floor space and show services book up fast — reserve your space and begin design discussions months in advance.
• Tell a story: Use your booth design to communicate your brand’s innovation and purpose, not just your product line.
• Leverage technology: Integrate interactive displays, AR demos, or digital signage to attract tech-savvy attendees.
• Focus on experience: Create touchpoints for live demos, influencer meetups, or social-media-friendly photo ops.
• Have a follow-up plan: Use lead capture tools and follow up promptly post-show to convert booth interactions into business.
