We are thrilled to have these influential entrepreneurs on the CES keynote stage and look forward to hearing their views and experiences.”

CEA has also teamed up with the Startup America Partnership to showcase and celebrate some of the most innovative startup companies at the 2013 CES, including the Startup America Live Stage, which will feature 4 days of start-up focused programming.
