The Microsoft CES 2012 Blogger Haus

For this year’s CES, Microsoft has invited 14 trendsetting and student bloggers from across Europe to stay in a dedicated Blogger Haus in Las Vegas and enjoy the CES experience in style. Upon arrival, the bloggers will be equipped with the latest Microsoft technology to review and help them cover the CES action on their own blogs. They will also embark on an action packed Microsoft adventure immersing them fully in the Microsoft consumer experience– with Windows at its core. This will incorporate the Steve Ballmer keynote, booth tours, OEM hardware tours, workshops on innovation, visits to the experience centre, demos of Windows Phone, Windows 8 and Xbox and much, much more.

Throughout the week, the bloggers will be sharing their experiences with their readers and social media followers – using technology such as Windows 7 PCs, Windows Phones and a mixture of software including Windows Movie Maker, OneNote and SkyDrive (to connect them to the cloud).

Check back here throughout the week for blogs and updates from the event, or follow us on Twitter @MicrosoftEMEA.

The 14 bloggers attending CES and staying in the Microsoft Blogger Haus hail from Austria, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Russia, Spain and Switzerland. Each is a technology-focused blogger passionate about innovation and the way technology products transform the consumer experience.

Microsoft will be present throughout this year’s Consumer Electronics Show, held in Las Vegas, to share the latest technology from the company and engage with attendees on the show floor. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer will be giving a keynote on Monday 9th January 6.30pm PT, so be sure to follow the action live online: http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/events/ces/
