Entertainment Matters at CES (EM), currently in its third year, is an International CES program created specifically for the Hollywood and entertainment community. EM includes On the Floor, which targets relevant exhibits for content and entertainment professionals; Keynotes and Panels that address key trends, technologies, media and branding; and the Red Carpet Program, an exclusive, invitation-only VIP program to CES. Sponsored by Variety, EM is a tailored connection to partnerships and innovations at the world’s largest consumer electronics trade show, the 2013 International CES (January 8-11 in Las Vegas).

DTS, Technicolor, LG, Sony and Dolby are just a few of the 3,000 leading tech companies exhibiting at CES On the Floor — from global giants to emerging startups — unveiling innovative new products and services and showcasing the collaboration between content creators and CE manufacturers.

The Red Carpet Program is an insider’s view of global technology and content, and access to potential business opportunities. It is an invitation-only VIP program open to select executives, directors, producers and talent (contact: RedCarpet@CE.org). Red Carpet benefits include: Free access to the CES show floor; access to private Red Carpet Lounge on the show floor (LVCC, North Hall); preshow and on-site service, including a dedicated hotline; priority VIP passes to Keynote Addresses; access to block of discounted rooms; discount on Entertainment Matters Conference Pass; customized guided tours of show floor; and access to exclusive VIP parties and special events.

Entertainment Matters also includes the International Academy of Web Television’s IAWTV Awards; various TechZones such as iLounge Pavilion and MobileTV; the Official Entertainment Matters Party at LAVO; and Conference Tracks that should be of particular interest to entertainment professionals, such as Tweet House Presents: Social Media Success Stories, Content and Disruptive Technologies, Games Summit at CES and Digital Hollywood.
