CES 2019 Attendance Audit Summary
ATTENDANCE AUDIT SUMMARY CES® 2019 January 8-11, 2019 Las Vegas, Nevada CES.tech Letter from Consumer Technology Association (CTA)™ 1 For over 50 years, CES® has served as a global platform for the most innovative companies to share their revolutionary technologies with the world. This year we were proud to convene members of the industry from 161 countries, regions and territories to experience the future through technology. Featuring impressive debuts in 5G, artiﬁcial intelligence, transportation and more, CES 2019 showcased how technology enables every business to succeed. This year, we added an area on resilience to showcase technologies that can help society stay connected and safe. A new health care track also provided medical professionals with CME credits. We are pleased that the audit concluded that CES 2019 attracted 175,212 in total attendance. This number compares to 182,198 in CES 2018 and the high of 184,279 at CES 2017. This result is in line with our strategy of managing attendee numbers and attracting the most highly qualiﬁed attendees. This strategy is aimed at helping limit hotel price increases and the pressure on travel to and around Las Vegas during CES. While CES attracted government leaders from around the world, many members of the U.S. government were not able to attend due to the government shutdown. Thanks to the support of our exhibitors, CES continues to grow exhibit space, expanding to an incredible 2.9 million net square feet in 2019. As more businesses embrace technology, we are excited to welcome the next generation of diverse and visionary innovators.

Predicting Mental Health from Followed Accounts 2 Abstract The past decade has seen rapid growth in research linking stable psychological characteristics (i.e., traits) to digital records of online behavior in Online Social Networks (OSNs) like Facebook and Twitter, which has implications for basic and applied behavioral sciences. Findings indicate that a broad range of psychological characteristics can be predicted from various behavioral residue online, including language used in posts on Facebook (Park et al., 2015) and Twitter (Reece et al., 2017), and which pages a person ‘likes’ on Facebook (e.g., Kosinski, Stillwell, & Graepel, 2013).

Project Foki Beta
Project Foki: Clash of the Ships Featuring the Fastest Man Alive Prologue After several months of preparation, Scarra, alleged father and mastermind of the OfflineTV house, was finally ready to finalize this year’s vacation plans. Though it had taken him a fair amount of time to do so, along with a countless number of arguments, he was now moments away from sealing the deal. Scarra: He smacked the table. “Wait come on Josh, you can’t back out now. We did all this prep and you’re just gonna walk out on us?”. Xell: “I really can’t come with you guys. I know this is one of those times that I should be keeping my promise, but it’s such a bad time for me.”, he said with a sad expression on his face. Scarra: He sighed. “First Mark, now you too? You’re telling me you weren’t able to get a week off from doing… whatever you do… for the sake of having all of OfflineTV go to Greece!? Xell’s hand shot up defensively. Xell: “Ok wait, hold up, first of all I’ve been writing a lot more recently.” Scarra: “Like what? What’s more important that Greece?” Xell: “Secondly, Chris and Pecca aren’t going either, so why are you bothering me!?”, he argued. Scarra: “Chris and Pecca already said they’d be out of town, and besides you told me you were totally down for Greece. I did so much research on the hotels, the sites, and all that stuff for 10 people…”.

Comparing Traditional Sports and Electronic Sports By
COMPARING TRADITIONAL SPORTS AND ELECTRONIC SPORTS BY EFE CAN KARAKUS THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Computer Science in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2015 Urbana, Illinois Adviser: Associate Professor Karrie G. Karahalios ABSTRACT Electronic sports (eSports) viewership numbers have been growing over the years. Video games such as League of Legends, Counter Strike: Global Offensive, or Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft have a large following. During the League of Legends regular season matches, 250,000 people regularly tune in to watch the games. Professional players such as Enrique “Xpeke” Cedeno-Martinez have 470,000 Twitter followers. In this study, we built two visualizations to explore similarities and differences between eSports and traditional sports. We focused on the salaries earned by eSports players and the emergence of a new way of interacting with professional players via live streaming. We then compared how fan loyalties differ between the two fields. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION ............................................................................................................................. 1 CHAPTER 2: BACKGROUND ........................................................................................................................... 3 CHAPTER 3: REVENUE OF PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS ............................................................................. 9 CHAPTER 4: FANDOM IN ELECTRONIC
