Next-Gen Consumer Hardware Social @ CES
A relaxed CES happy hour exploring emotional AI, tactile interfaces, and next-gen consumer devices.
Join us for a casual, drop-in CES side event bringing together founders, designers, builders, and hardware investors. Expect hands-on demos, tactile interactions, early prototypes, and easy conversations around emotional tech, soft robotics, physical AI, and consumer hardware trends.
This is a free event with approval required to help keep the gathering intimate and conversational. There are no hosted drinks—guests are welcome to buy their own drink at the venue bar and join the conversation at their own pace.
Plus: we’ll have a few fun surprises for folks who join us — including blind box gifts from our friends at PopDrop. Come hang out, mingle, and you might walk away with a little extra joy. 🎁
