A short list of CES 2018 networking events and parties
*Originally published on LinkedIn
To help out with all of the requests I’ve received regarding networking opportunities during CES next week in Las Vegas, I’ve compiled a non-exhaustive list of events I’ve heard about. All of the different CES networking events and parties fill up very quickly so you should RSVP as soon as possible.
Feel free to leave a comment with any other quality opportunities to make the most of CES week.
*I’m not associated with any of these events, so I can’t help you get tickets or access in case/once they are sold out.

Nokia Lights Out
“If an all-night, all-week CES celebration in a secret location with entertainment, guests and giveaways you can only dream about sounds intriguing, read on because…Every year, you come to CES, and every year you leave exhausted. Sure, the parties are great (sometimes), but what happens in Vegas doesn’t stay in Vegas — if what happens is sleep deprivation. This year, set yourself up for maximum CES success when you join Nokia for Lights Out, our celebration of the #TeamSleep movement for a good night’s sleep!”
