West 18th St. NYC
Nominees of the CES Innovation Awards and a few Eureka Park start-up products got lots of attention from the full house of media and business types.
Aligning the perimeter and center of the spacious ground floor of the Metropolitan Pavilion, the exhibitors -who hailed from several countries...displayed their techy goods---while refining their elevator pitches -before heading out to the main stage of CES 2016 in Las Vegas.
Accordingly, some explanations of what the benefits of several IoT (Internet of Things) products on display- eluded us...but maybe-things got lost in translation. Overall, the selections were rather nifty and def. have consumer appeal.
SOME Highlights...
A huge display case in the center had some of the CES Innovation Awards 2016 nominees. Noted...lack of Apple products (though there are accessories to...)--- but then we figured out-these winners are chosen from submissions...and -that notably, Apple does not even exhibit at that massive tradeshow.
