Whether you’re on the show floor or just following the action from home on livestreams and social media, this year’s Consumer Electronics Show promises to have lots of valuable insights for the digital audio industry. CES is the biggest showcase of consumer electronics each year, which makes it a useful touchpoint for any of the areas where technology and music intersect. This year, we could see developments in topics such as connected cars, home audio, audio quality, mobile devices, headphones, digital distribution, and advertising technology.
We’ve reviewed the schedule and picked out some of the most pertinent events for RAIN News readers. Some of these sessions require special registration, but we do expect to hear lots of other news, updates, and surprises from the digital audio space from this year’s conference beyond the scheduled sessions.
