CES: The big party list, looking a little skimpy this year
Posted by Brier Dudley
Talk about a downturn.
PR rep Karen Thomas compiles a handy list of parties at the Consumer Electronics Show, but this year's edition is looking pretty thin.
Here's her list for Thursday, the first full day of the show:
5:30 PM - 8:00 PM: Tiger Direct Build Your Own PC Race -- Wynn (Invite only)
6:00 PM - 9:30 PM: Support.com 3rd Annual Rat Pack Party -- Bellagio Penthouse Suite (Invite only)
6:00 PM - 10:00 PM: Showstoppers, Wynn, Lafite Ballroom (Invite only)
6:00 PM -11:00 PM: Center Partners VIP Tour -- Flamingo, Metropolitan Suite (Invite only)
6:00 PM: G4's "best of the best 2009" -- Wynn (invite only)
