AI Speaker for CES
Joel Comm brings 45 years of technology experience to the CES stage, with a track record that stretches back to the earliest days of personal computing. His ability to separate signal from noise is exactly what CES audiences need when they're overwhelmed by a week of product launches and bold predictions.
Why CES Events Need Grounded AI Speakers
CES is spectacular by design. Every company is putting its best foot forward, every demo is polished, and every press release promises a revolution. That's what makes it exciting. It's also what makes it overwhelming.
The challenge for CES event organizers — whether you're running a main stage session, a private suite event, or a partner dinner — is helping your audience process everything they're seeing and translate it into action. Joel's Disruption Confidence Cycle framework does exactly that. It gives attendees a lens for evaluating which AI developments matter to their business and which are noise, so they leave CES with a plan instead of just a bag full of swag.
Joel's Consumer Technology Credibility
Joel has been in consumer technology since the early 1980s. He's watched entire product categories emerge, dominate, and evolve. He was building internet businesses when the web was still new, publishing apps when the App Store launched, and exploring AI tools before most people had heard of ChatGPT.
That history matters at CES, where the audience includes everyone from startup founders to Fortune 500 executives. Joel can connect the dots between what's happening now in AI and what happened in previous technology waves, giving audiences the pattern recognition they need to make smart decisions about where to invest their time, money, and attention.
CES Event Formats Joel Speaks At
CES isn't just one event — it's hundreds of events happening simultaneously. Joel is available for CES main conference keynotes and panels, branded suite presentations and private demos, partner and client appreciation events, pre-CES and post-CES corporate gatherings, industry association meetings during CES week, and media and analyst briefings.
The Las Vegas Convention Center and the hotels along the Strip host events of every size during CES week. Whether you need a high-energy keynote for 5,000 people or a focused presentation for 50 executives in a private suite, Joel tailors the format and content to fit your specific event.
What CES Audiences Take Away
CES attendees who hear Joel's keynote leave with something more valuable than another product demo. They leave with a framework for understanding technology disruption that they'll use long after CES ends. The Disruption Confidence Cycle helps them evaluate every new AI tool, every vendor pitch, and every strategic decision through a proven lens.
They also leave with practical confidence. Instead of feeling like they need to adopt every new AI tool they saw on the show floor, they understand how to prioritize, where to start, and how to build organizational readiness. That clarity is rare at CES, and it's what makes Joel's keynote the session attendees remember.
