150,000 attendees. Three cavernous halls. Roughly 10 kilometres of walking per day. CES is not a trade show you wander - it's one you plan like an expedition.

Rule one: book your meetings before you land. Rule two: pick two halls, not three. Rule three: one afternoon, deliberately get lost - the best conversations happen on the edges.

“The floor is loud. The deals are quiet. Budget for dinner.”
