As CES 2024 reaches its midpoint, we’re turning our attention to big product launches and keynotes that are such an important part of this event and the global tech calendar. The focus this year is on AI and novel technologies, but there’s more than that going on here. The growing presence of diverse industry players has been particularly striking. Let's delve into the data:
Day 2 Keynote Analysis
Total Mentions and Impressions
The day saw 97k mentions of CES across social platforms, reaching 5.93 billion potential unique impressions. While this is a natural decrease in conversation volume compared to Day One, it is only a 2% drop in reach.
