Sound and Vision', are proud to announce an exclusive collaboration with the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)® to become the Official International Media Partners of the 2011 International CES, the world's largest consumer technology tradeshow.
Stuff's involvement will culminate in the 2011 CES Hot Stuff Awards: the 10 new product launches at CES that most impress the magazine's panel of gadget experts.

Editor-in-chief, Fraser Macdonald, said, “This is a tremendously exciting partnership for Stuff. We always send a contingent to Las Vegas for CES as it's the first opportunity to get our hands on the year's biggest gadgets, and to gauge what the following years will bring.“
Macdonald added, “From its world-leading position, Stuff is ideally placed to partner with CEA. Our experts will pick real winners: the 2011 CES Hot Stuff awards will only feature new products that all gadget fans will love, and that most gadget fans will buy.”
What Hi-fi? Sound and Vision will also be covering all the best in TV, hi-fi and AV across CES, including hosting a dedicated room in The Venetian, at the heart of the show's high-performance audio exhibits.
