Park Theater, Las Vegas, Nevada

CES is the world’s gathering place for all who thrive on the business of consumer technologies. It has served as the proving ground for innovators and breakthrough technologies for more than 40 years—the global stage where next-generation innovations are introduced to the marketplace. As the largest hands-on event of its kind, CES features all aspects of the industry. And because it is owned and produced by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), the technology trade association representing the $285 billion U.S. consumer electronics industry, it attracts the world’s business leaders and pioneering thinkers to a forum where the industry’s most relevant issues are addressed

“It’s important to understand that CES opening keynotes are typically 75% glitz and 25% content. This is particularly true when it comes to the coveted, opening spot that Krzanich had. This keynote was the most visually rich performance I’ve ever seen at a tech show—colorful, complex and stunning. Intel has really raised the bar, in my opinion.”

Nominated for the “Knight of Illumination Award”

“Many of the judges commented on how diverse the entries were in this broad ‘events’ segment, but Jim Tetlow’s design for the Intel CES presentation caught the eye of everyone. The scale and scope of the project was breathtaking, and Jim took advantage of a dizzying array of technology in his design. Several of the judges have long been followers of the work of Jim and the JHA team, and we think it is fitting to acknowledge CES 2018 project with a nomination.”
