CES Reporter's notebook: 'Male-dominated show has a lot of work to do'

Avery Hartmans is a Tech Reporter at Business Insider. She attended CES 2018 in La Vegas last week and wrote about her experience in "Cheerleader outfits and weird looks: I went to the biggest tech industry conference of the year for the first time, and it’s clear CES still has a woman problem."

Hartmans concluded that the male-dominated show has a lot of work to do in order to become more inclusive.

“ Vegas is Vegas, so the fact that strip clubs are a key fixture of the landscape and that they figure into the industry conferences that take place in the city is not exactly shocking. But the bizarre CES attraction on display at the Sapphire club — naked robotic women with screens and cameras instead of heads — was the perfect embodiment of the problem with the conference,” she wrote.

Hartmans also had a lot to say on name tags, the number of women scheduled to give keynote addresses at the show, and how men treat women in professional situations.

"People may say that CES has been around long before I was even born — that decades of history precedes my four days there. That's true. People may also say that there are plenty of men who work in tech who attend shows like CES and don't treat women badly or make them feel uncomfortable. That's true too. The majority of my experiences over the last week were professional and pleasant," she notes.
