EDGE@ces’s global recognition is further enhanced by its 20-year partnership with CES, the world’s most prestigious technology showcase.

Not your father’s conference, EDGE@ces stands above and apart as an experience renowned for its highly interactive format of executive roundtables, provocative plenary sessions, and unparalleled networking. Attendees are not mere spectators but active participants.   From start to finish, EDGE@ces is meticulously crafted to leverage state-of-the-art technologies for both impact, and to enable important relationships and conversations that build and continue long after the program adjourns.

Plenary (Mornings)

Provocative, informative, memorable – an experience unlike any conference

Recognized and visionary leaders address global security challenges and remedial strategies to address them
Professionally produced videos introduce each subject and speaker(s)
Custom state-of-the-art staging enables multimedia presentations that often connect ‘live’ to remote locations for more expansive discussions and demonstrations
Scheduled for three hours each morning, plenary sessions are recorded and broadcast virtually, available for speakers to repurpose, and set the stage for the highly interactive Executive Roundtable agenda.

Executive Roundtable (Afternoons)

Two sessions of four Roundtables each – attendees select according to their respective interests
Roundtables run 90 minutes with first 15 minutes an informal ‘mini reception’ allowing interaction among attendees and direct participants
6 direct participants on each Roundtable, mission and jurisdiction diverse, candid and off-the-record, neither recorded nor broadcast – Moderators engage attendees throughout
Roundtables complement and expand on plenary sessions and EDGESeries programs held throughout the year
