HOW WE CAN HELP YOUR BUSINESS

MEMBERSHIP: We have a new membership category for startup companies to provide them with the resources and support they need to be successful. Companies who qualify can access all of the benefits of Regular CEA membership at a reduced rate of $95 per year (regular membership dues start at $850).

ADVOCACY: Startup companies fuel our economy but continue to be hamstrung by outdated laws and regulations. We support pro-innovation policies, such as strategic immigration reform, legislation fighting patent trolls and increased access to unlicensed spectrum. CEA was one of the first groups to raise warning flags and fight the much-maligned SOPA and PIPA legislation.

EXHIBIT AT CES: Eureka Park is a specialized CES exhibit area that provides a unique exhibiting opportunity to launch a new product, service or idea.
