Consumer Technology Hall of Fame Dinner

Nov. 15, 2022 | New York, NY

In the 22nd year honoring the best and brightest innovators of consumer technology for good, the Hall of Fame Dinner again recognized life-changing genius. It celebrated inductees painstakingly vetted by experts and professional peers on a panel of judges that included industry leaders and media.

Launched in 2000 at CESĀ®, the first 50 honorees were inducted into the Consumer Technology Hall of Fame. Each year since then has welcomed into this class of visionaries a new group of inventors, engineers, business leaders, retailers and journalists. We hold this dinner as a tribute to them, and to their achievements. 


The CT Hall of Fame (HOF) Program

The Hall of Fame celebrates the rich history of the consumer technology industry by honoring the leaders who have made it all possible. Each year, nominations are submitted by manufacturers, retailers and journalists. Nominations are carefully evaluated to determine the merits of each relative to CTA standards of excellence.

Those inducted into the Hall of Fame excel as visionaries who breach boundaries against seemingly insurmountable odds to bring their ideas to market-ready fruition. Their insights and hard work have delivered to consumers, worldwide, the technologies, products and services that enrich lives and livelihoods while furthering human security and wellbeing.
