This is the first CES that I (or anyone from Reckoner) has ever attended. The show, as I\u2019m sure you know, is ridiculously large and instead of even beginning to remotely try and cover it all I\u2019ve decided to write a series of shorter pieces based around what it\u2019s like attending the show for the first time. I\u2019m calling the series \u201dStories from a CES Virgin<\/a>\u201d<\/em> and you can find all of them here<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Falling victim to the same conference stretching that I\u2019ve seen at E3 over the past few years we now head into the second day of events that take place before the official start of the show on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Intel, Samsung, Nvidia, LG, Sony, Faraday Future and others all held keynotes today. It\u2019s crazy and there\u2019s no way one person, or even a small team of people can attend and cover them all extensively. This is why, on the advice of someone fare more smarter and experienced with CES keynotes, I chose to go to none of them.<\/p>\n

In addition to spending hours in queues that you may not ever reach the end of the line of keynotes are loooooooong! You can get more in five minutes reading headlines from your favourite tech blogs that cover them than you can attending them yourself. I pass this onto you and instead of writing up each of them offer you this instead, a list of the keynotes, my one sentence summary and a link to far better, more in-depth coverage should you be interested.<\/p>\n
