From Vision to Reality: Crafting the CES Keynotes
For 27 years, TPN has been on-site at CES, a consistent, confident presence as the global event expanded and evolved over the years. And this year, that presence was bolstered by TPN’s merger last year with EVIA, another established production company with advanced digital content capabilities and CES experience. Together, they are a creative and strategic force, a world-class production agency able to provide a visually impactful experience for both in-room and remote viewing audiences.
The TPN team oversaw the successful delivery and publication of over 291 sessions, seating 1,800 for the Keynote and filling every seat for all other keynotes – some with standing-room only. The fireside chats averaged 75% capacity.
The team seamlessly executed broadcast across four CES event channels for 146 streaming hours and heightened the attendee experience by managing in-room captioning in all 13 spaces across four venues along the Las Vegas Strip. We also launched a useful in-room presentation QR code for slide-deck acquisition and the successful consolidation of the TPN keynote into one shipment.
All the while, the TPN team had effective communication and collaboration with the CTA and Mighty teams and instrumental support from the Hoyos Network. Many groups were incredibly cooperative and almost all groups were open about additions and shared a lot of the costs. It led to a beautifully large screen that all groups utilized in their shows and a beautiful light plot that increased the offerings for three of the four presenters.
While “the dance gets complicated,” as one team member noted, everything went smoothly. CES 2024 was a cooperative collection of production and creative.
