Tech Conferences & Trade Shows

Trade shows, keynotes and developer gatherings where new hardware and software is unveiled to the public.

These are the events where technology becomes a public spectacle rather than a press release: show floors you can walk, keynotes you can watch live, and product reveals timed for a room full of press and buyers. CES in Las Vegas anchors the January calendar for consumer hardware; Web Summit, Slush and TechCrunch Disrupt do the same for the startup and investor circuit; SXSW Interactive folds technology into a wider culture and music festival in Austin. Regional shows such as Gitex Global in Dubai and Rise Asia in Hong Kong extend the same trade-show format to their own markets.
