Business Wire Official Newswire of CES

The grandest tradeshow of them all, the Consumer Electronics Show, is now underway in Las Vegas. The all out inbox assault – aka pre-conference pitching by PR pros – has been going on for weeks, and is already responsible for at least one public kerfluffle. Even with attendance down 8% this year, there are still 131k expected to attend.

On the newswire front, Business Wire announced that it is the official wire service for the trade show. From their blog:

Business Wire once again serves as the official wire service for CES. Our news file is fully integrated in the CES website. View news on the front page under Exhibitor News. Our partner, Virtual Press Office provides online press kit posting and measurement.
