Update November 4: Streaming media is certainly
going to be a big topic at CES 2016. YouTube Chief Business Officer
Robert Kyncl is slated to give a keynote speech in Vegas, one day after
Netflix CEO Reed Hastings offers his insights.
Given that media is moving online and consumers are looking for more reliable and affordable streaming options, it makes sense two of the top dogs of the industry will offer insights at this coming show.
Update November 1: Netflix has made a splash at past CESes (including the 2015 edition), so it seems only fitting that Netflix CEO Reed Hastings will give a keynote speech at this coming year's show. Hastings is scheduled to speak on Wednesday, January 6 and will discuss Netflix's plan to go global by the end of 2016.
The months are rushing by as we approach CES 2016. While we'll update this page soon with even more rumors and predictions, we wanted to share the official CES 2016 hashtag so you know just what to search for on Twitter and Facebook for all the latest show news (besides following @techradar, of course).
It's pretty darn easy to remember: just type in "#ces2016" and you'll open up a world of posts related to the show.
Another tidbit: One of the big themes of the show will be virtual reality and cars. On the VR front, the organizing body behind CES is expanding its Gaming & Virtual Reality Marketplace this year. More than 40 exhibitors will show off their VR systems and environments as well as gaming hardware, software and accessories designed for all device types. Sounds fun, if you ask us.
As for auto tech, CES 2016 is expanding its car-related show floor exhibits by 25% compared to CES 2015. Audi, BMW, Chrysler, GM, Ford, Hyundai, Mercedes, Toyota and Volkswagen will all be at the show, while Delphi will use the conference to celebrate its 20th anniversary. To that end, it will bring its first concept vehicle to CES.
