The upcoming show, taking place Jan 5-8, 2023, in Las Vegas, is sure to impress with 50% more space for its signature showcase — plus speakers including Instacart CMO Laura Jones and Carlos Tavares, the CEO of automaker Stellantis. 

Odds are, you’ve booked your hotel and flight through your company portal. And you’re probably expensing your meals. But if you’re looking for off-the-clock activities (or still need a cheap spot to stay for the Consumer Technology Association’s event), we’ve got you covered.
