Do I register myself for the International CES?

Speakers should coordinate rehearsals and arrival times with their session moderators.

As an International CES speaker, am I permitted access to your press list?

Unfortunately, we do not distribute that information to International CES Speakers.

Will there be media present?

Press and analysts are admitted to conference sessions free of charge. There are no specific press services offered for speakers. If your company is exhibiting at CES, please visit the PR Help for Exhibitors page.

I want to provide handouts to those attending my conference session. Does CES handle production?

Handouts can be uploaded to the official International CES mobile app. Contact Nhu Nguyen for more detail.

Am I required to use the International CES slide template for the presentation?

We strongly encourage using the International CES Conference Powerpoint Template, available on CESweb.org later this fall.

Can my marketing department distribute handouts and materials during the session?

No. Promotional materials may not be distributed in session rooms. This is a privilege offered to paying sponsors only. For more information on sponsorship opportunities, please visit the CES Sponsorship page.

I'm eager to hear the panel discussions. Where can I hear them again?

Keynotes, SuperSessions and various conference sessions will be streaming on CESweb throughout the show.

Does the International CES cover speaker travel and hotel expenses?

CES speakers are responsible for their own hotel and travel expenses.

Does the International CES provide speaker honorariums?

International CES does not provide speaker honorariums.

How are speakers selected?

Once the topics and sessions of the International CES Conference Program have been finalized, we look at the Call for Speakers entries for logical placements. Speakers are then selected based on their topic knowledge and prominence in their field. We also receive moderator recommendations for panelists.
Please know our program is largely comprised in panel format. There are rarely solo presenter opportunities.

I submitted a Call for Speakers form. When will I be notified if I was chosen to speak?

All Call for Speakers entries will be answered by September 27, 2013.
