CES 2021 we attended this event virtually for the first time and with Dave coming off his first in person CES in 2020 this was definitely a different experience. The media events at Pepcom and ShowStoppers were a bit more personal but overall the show was good. We all give our highlights of this week and look for interviews Dave did with some of the exhibitors in next week’s show.
