Techfluence Virtual CES Preview 2026
Hosted on our newly redesigned virtual event platform, the Techfluence CES Preview brings together brands, journalists, creators, bloggers, and analysts in a relaxed, efficient environment just as CES coverage plans and meeting schedules come into focus.
For less than the cost of issuing a press release, brands can showcase products, share materials, engage with attendees via video or text inside their booth, and pitch a global audience of opinion leaders evaluating products for CES coverage. For attendees, it’s an effortless way to connect with brands, discover new products, and lock in their CES plans.
Techfluence virtual events typically attract 150–200 attendees, with exhibitors averaging close to 100 booth visitors. The audience is truly global—at a recent event, attendees logged in from 37 U.S. states and 23 countries. After each event, exhibitors receive a custom Post-Event Report including attendee lists, booth visitor data, and detailed engagement metrics.
The Techfluence platform is intentionally built to be intuitive. No learning curve. No unnecessary features. Just a clean, simple experience that mirrors the engagement of an in-person media event. Attendees click the event link to enter the Expo Hall, then click your logo to enter your booth—where they can explore your products, download press materials, watch videos, schedule follow-ups, and ask questions via in-booth video or text chat.
It’s basically Pepcom minus the travel, planning, price tag, and geographic limitations.
One booth. Everything included. No hidden fees.
Whether you’re exhibiting or attending, the entire experience is designed to be simple, intuitive, and easy to navigate from start to finish.
Use the Exhibitor Intake Form to submit the materials for your booth. Review and update as needed right up until the event begins.

Before attendees visit your Virtual Booth, you’ll present your products during a webinar session. Attendees will then be directed to your booth for Q&A, conversations, and follow-up planning. Techfluence can manage attendee recruitment, event production, registration, and post-event reporting, or work in collaboration with your internal team or PR agency.
Long before founding Techfluence, Barry Myers was creating new ways for brands to connect with the people who influence consumers’ purchase decisions.
He held leadership roles at Ziff Davis and AOL, working alongside the teams behind PCMag, Engadget, and gdgt. At Ziff Davis, Barry co-founded DigitalLife, a pioneering four-day pre-holiday consumer-tech event for press and enthusiasts. He later joined Engadget founder Peter Rojas at gdgt, where he created gdgt Live, a tabletop event series that expanded to 12 cities before AOL acquired the company.
At AOL, Barry led the Engadget event program, including Engadget Live and Engadget Expand. He later founded getgeeked Events in New York and San Francisco, adding a creator-content model to the traditional media event. By bringing exhibitors and creators together to produce video at events, getgeeked anticipated the creator-driven launch strategies brands rely on today.
When COVID halted in-person events, Barry brought that experience online—but with a deliberately different approach. Rather than building complicated virtual environments filled with features that slowed participation, he created a practical platform designed to help brands share product information, answer questions, build relationships, and generate coverage.
Techfluence was never meant to replace live events. It was built as a cost-effective, easy-to-execute addition to the PR and marketing toolkit: combining the global reach of a press release, the engagement of a live event, and the follow-up intelligence of a digital platform.
Barry personally manages every Techfluence event, applying more than 20 years of consumer-tech, media, and marketing experience to each participating brand.
The technology may be virtual. The relationships are very real.
