One week from today, I'll be Vegas-bound for my umpteenth International CES - Consumer Electronics Show. Every year, I approach CES with excitement and a little trepidation. The logistics, by now, are a holiday tradition. This year, I am very honored to join Michael Kassan, my 3C Ventures colleagues, and an incredible roster of clients and partners for what surely will be a memorable CES. If you'd like to hear what we're up to or to schedule a time to meet, DM me here. Five of my favorite things about CES are: 💡 Catching up with friends, current and past clients and colleagues 💡 Facilitating meaningful introductions and BD conversations for our clients 💡 Learning about the latest technologies and trends (essential for me to spend some time on the CES Floor) 💡 Gaining inspiration to start the year 💡 Having some (but not too much) fun - it's Vegas, after all! Finally, here's a twenty-year trip down memory lane, recapping some of my CES highlights to date: 🎰 Fox Entertainment - Discovering new ways to engage viewers as they discovered new platforms and devices; promoting our tech-forward hit "24" (which always premiered right after CES) with several exhibitors, including Panasonic, Verizon, Dolby, and Cisco. 🎰 Filmaka - Procuring distribution opportunities for content created by our talented filmmakers from all around the world 🎰 MediaLink - Curating a fulfilling CES experience for clients, including major brands such as Unilever, Dunkin', L'Oreal, and Mondelez, often in partnership with agencies. I have so many amazing memories from my 11-year run at ML. 🎰 StoryTech & Consumer Technology Association - Producing VIP Floor Tours on subjects such as AI, mobility, and sustainability and getting an "insider's view" of the event.

@CES 2025 is here! Almost twenty years ago I had the privilege of hearing Jim Collins (author of #goodtogreat) speak at the ISPA - International SPA Association Conference. One statement struck me deeply and changed the trajectory of my career: “If you’re not a technology company today, you will be tomorrow. And if you don’t become one, you’ll be dead.” That quote is from almost 20 years ago. It sparked my shift from operating exclusively in brick-and-mortar businesses to exploring the immense value of data, what I now see as the treasure trove every business sits on. Over the years, I’ve embraced technology to transform operations, enhance customer experiences, and drive innovation in industries ranging from wellness to SaaS. Fast forward to #CES 2025, and Kinzie Fabrizio’s words couldn’t ring truer: “Every company is a tech company now, and CES reflects that reality.” Today, as technology continues to blur the lines between industries, I’m reminded of the importance of foresight and adaptability. Businesses that harness their data and align with emerging tech trends are the ones that thrive. Can’t wait to see all the new traction and products coming out of CES this year!

International CES - Consumer Electronics Show here we come. This is Lucky Number 15 for me I believe. Here’s my top ten for 2025 1 Trade show (CES, obviously) 2 Media Events we will be at, including one new one we’re excited about! 3 “Activations” planned 4 meetings with old college buddies I haven’t seen in years 5 different meeting venues we’ll be at throughout the week in Vegas 6 Carvers onsite, including two timers! 7 early morning client calls (YES, there’s work to be done outside of CES) 8 categories we will be focused on: Smart Home, Health, Toys, Gaming, Ed-Tech, Sports, Security, VR and more 9+ tacos that will be eaten by David Barkoe, if not more 10+ product launches throughout the week We always talk about the need to stand out amongst the crowd at events like CES, (and yes CES is beyond crowded) while not breaking the bank. We like to ask ourselves and our partners: How do we do more with less? How do we get more juice from the squeeze? The Answer: You don’t need to spend the most to be the best. But you do need to be intentional and you do need the right agency partner. Thus, we’ve got a few surprises planned. Stay tuned for more! Carve Communications, Inc.
