Obviously we learned a few things, and will work even harder to make sure that bloggers at CES have an even better experience at the 2009 CES. We'd love your ideas on what we can implement for next year.</p> After our kickoff year with the bloggers badges at the 2008 CES, we are already hard at work planning to make bloggers feel more welcome at the 2009 CES.
