Come meet the Amazon Alexa team at CES 2018. Held annually in Las Vegas, CES is the leading event for the global consumer electronics market segment. Over the past two years we have supported dozens of organizations in announcing their plans to integrate Alexa directly into their products and build skills that enable new Alexa capabilities.
At CES 2018, we have planned several panel and workshop sessions, as well as smart home and offline activations just outside of the Las Vegas Convention Center. All of this in addition to exciting new announcements from brands building magical voice experiences with Alexa technology.
Below is an overview of where you can go at CES to learn about Alexa, experience the growing number of third-party Alexa-enabled products, and hear from Amazon executives on where Alexa will go next.
At CES, we will be hosting a full Alexa track with the goal of educating attendees about integrating their products with our cloud-based voice service. Our teams will deliver deep learning sessions, presentations, hands-on workshops, keynotes, and more. Sign up for the sessions below on the CES website.

It’s called the Smart Life Roadshow, and it will be in the Central Plaza parking lot of the Las Vegas Convention Center. The roadshow will provide experiential tours demonstrating the latest Alexa-enabled products, Echo Family of Devices, and Works with Amazon Alexa devices plus Smart Home Skills.
Amazon’s Treasure Truck will be setup next to the Smart Life Roadshow, showcasing new and upcoming products and hosting entertainment like games and presentations. Stop by to get swag, win prizes, and learn about exciting new consumer products, from smart home and computing to consumables and more.
