2012 CES - Consumer Electronics Show\nFlew here and experienced the exhibit on the company dime, woohoo!\n\nPros\n- Large exhibits from the large electronic companies that showcase their new and upcoming gadgets that numerous tech news publishers stalk/cover endlessly.\n- Most of the electronics reps will thoroughly explain the specs, although your geek questions may oust some of their knowledge, they still try their absolute best w/out sounding sales pitchy\n- Free sh-wag\n- Some exhibits even go out and display their own hot models, live spinning DJs, and/or open bar\n- Some celebrity sightings from time to time to endorse a product or company: (Example: Snooki and Dennis Rodman)\n\nCons\n- Expect to stand around the Convention Center after the exhibit for a while, traffic + a huge rush to get home with buses and taxis\n- Less swag than last year (so I hear)\n\nTip: It doesn't matter if you're going for a business meeting, wear comfortable shoes or you will die.. yes, DIE.\n\nIt's definitely an expo you need to experience if you are into tech gadgets!\nAlso, if you now perceive me as a nerd, I am not.
