CES 2026 Founders & Leaders Connect — Early Connect

​This meetup is an informal pre-CES gathering created to connect people who genuinely want to know each other better before CES 2026 begins.

​The intent is simple: to provide a relaxed, focused space where founders, leaders, and professionals can meet, exchange perspectives, and have meaningful conversations about CES, their interests, and potential areas for future business collaboration. There is no agenda, no pitching, and no selling — just authentic conversations with people who value long-term relationships.

​Whether you are attending CES to explore partnerships, understand the ecosystem, or identify future opportunities, this meetup is meant to help you build context and connections ahead of the main event.

​A Few Simple Guidelines

• ​Be on time. Punctuality reflects professionalism and respect for others’ time.

• ​Come with intent. This meetup is meant for genuine conversations, not casual drop-ins.

• ​Bring business cards or digital contact details to make follow-ups easy and meaningful.

• ​This is a non-sponsored meetup. Any food or beverages ordered at the café will be self-paid by each attendee.

• ​No hard selling or pitching. The focus is connection, not transactions.

​Join us for coffee, conversation, and thoughtful networking — and walk into CES with stronger relationships, clearer direction, and a more relevant network.
