Here’s who’s repping the DC region at CES 2023

CES — the world’s largest tech trade show — kicks off in Las Vegas, Nevada. And there’s no shortage of DMV-area companies showing their stuff as exhibitors and attendees.

This year, an expected crowd of more than 3,000 exhibitors and 100,000 attendees will show out for the massive conference covering all things tech. The event takes place Jan. 5-8 and features a mix of manufacturers, developers, suppliers, consumer tech developers and other industry-relevant professionals.

McLean, Virginia’s Armored Fresh, an alternative dairy company, first debuted its dairy-free cheese at CES 2022. This year, it plans to unveil two new developments: a sliced American-style cheese and a feature that helps its product mimic the melt-in-your-mouth effect of real cheese.

Although CEO Andrew Yu said an experience at CES is very dependent on an objective for attending, he did advise newcomers to make sure to soak up all they can in the few days of the conference.

“For me, it’s all about gathering information,” Yu told Technical.ly in an email. “Lots of times we get caught up in our own silos; it’s great to get out and see what others are doing, and CES is a great place where you get to see everyone come together to showcase their goodies. Just enjoy the experience.”
