CES, the International Consumer Electronics Show, happens every year in January in Las Vegas. \u00a0It is a trade show geared towards buyers and media to showcase new products and product offerings by more than 3,200 companies. \u00a0WellConnectedMom.com attends every year, we wouldn’t miss it! \u00a0This year, the International Consumer Electronics Show boasted it’s largest yet with over 2 million net square feet of exhibit space. \u00a0I believe it because I could not get around to see everything this year. \u00a0Over 150 industry professionals attended, with nearly 35,000 of them from outside the US.<\/p>\n

It’s quite a show to see, and if you’re a tech fan, it’s a dream to be there. \u00a0WellConnectedMom has been there the last 5 years and each year we look forward to it. \u00a0We take hundreds of pictures, but none of them seem to capture the \u00a0scenes, the awe, and the thrill of being there. \u00a0We’ve posted some pictures in this article, but be sure to come back. \u00a0We will also be covering the top 5 trends we identified at CES as well as the top products for Moms. \u00a0Want to see more? \u00a0See some of the past year’s articles of International Consumer Electronics Show in Pictures: \u00a0\u00a02011<\/a> \u00a02012<\/a> \u00a02013<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When you think of consumer electronics, cars are not at the top of your mind. \u00a0But every year, the space dedicated to car manufacturers and accessories gets bigger. \u00a0I always love to stop by the Ford booth to see what new apps they announce will now be a part of the FordSYNC system. \u00a0Ford announced the will soon offer ADT integration so ADT consumers can use their voice to control a good number of functions at home like open a garage door, turn down thermostat, unlock front door, etc.. \u00a0A new partnership with Dominos allows drivers to order pizza and save the voice command for future orders.<\/p>\n

Voice activation with Parkopedia helps drivers find parking places and obtain pricing all via voice commands. \u00a0And with Parkmobile, Ford drivers can pay parking fees through voice activation and the use of their phone. \u00a0Lastly, Gracenote HABU gives drivers more control of mood music by calling out in the car the type of music they are interested….<\/p>\n
