Nearly 1,000 technology companies from the Western region of the United States will showcase their latest consumer electronics products at the 2007 International CES®, the world’s largest consumer technology tradeshow, January 8-11 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

An important part of the consumer electronics industry involves securing, moving, storing and eliminating data and we are excited to discuss how our technology can serve this market.”

The OtterBox Rugged Laptop Carrying Case and OtterBox for iPod nano second- generation also will be popular display items. We hope to show attendees how to expand technology use in any environment with protective cases from OtterBox.”
The 2007 International CES will host more than 20 market-specific TechZones.

The Sands/Venetian also includes the Anytime-Anywhere TechArena, which showcases companies that make the dream of having electronics ubiquitously available a reality. TechZones located within this arena include: The Download, ExpressCard, Podcasting and IPTV.
“CES is one of the most important events of the year for us because it brings together an unmatched group of buyers and innovative companies. The exposure that we receive for our complete line of video game and iPod/MP3 speakers and accessories plays a tremendous role in our growth,” said Richard Weston, co-founder of Torrance, CA-based dreamGEAR, LLC. “The Innovations Awards in particular, are a great way to highlight the most deserving new products and for the second year in a row, we are proud to have one of our i.Sound products – this year, the Concert 2 Go – honored with this distinction.”
