Among the policymakers delivering remarks or speaking on panels: Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Ajit Pai, Federal Trade Commission (FTC (News - Alert)) Acting Chairman Maureen Ohlhausen, and many other officials from the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) and United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). "CES isn't just a can't-miss event for industry leaders, but also for government officials at the intersection of technology and public policy. It is truly a cross-sector phenomenon from which we all benefit," said Gary Shapiro, president and CEO, CTA. "The best tech policy discussions and solutions come when the government and the industry are working together. As technology becomes more intuitive, impactful and connected, it is critical to show policymakers how emerging and disruptive technologies make our world and our lives better."
