Verizon’s Hans Vestberg To Keynote CES 2019

Will explore the future of 5G

The Consumer Technology Association (CTA) announced its fourth keynoter for CES 2019: Verizon CEO Hans Vestberg.

Vestberg’s address, which will explore the future of 5G, will take place at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 8, in the Venetian’s Palazzo Ballroom.
