The annual Consumer Electronics Show runs Wednesday through Friday and involves more than 3,500 exhibitors, as well as presentations and events from big names in the global innovation industry. Carrier Corp. will make its second appearance at CES. The company’s residential manufacturing and administration operations are based in Indianapolis and Carrier will be showcasing its Cor Home Automation system at the show.
