Rachel Kirkpatrick Boucher from Event Marketer Magazine<\/a> writes about the amazing Google CES 2019 experience designed by Sparks. This year\u2019s \u201cHey Google\u201d presence at the massive Consumer Electronics Show is as engaging and entertaining as any before. You might say it\u2019s \u201ca wild ride!\u201d Here\u2019s an excerpt.<\/p>\n

Google once again made its presence known at CES, Jan. 8-11, with a two-story Google Playground installation outside the Las Vegas Convention Center in Central Plaza that offers a big and bold LED fa\u00e7ade, spacious plaza and a closed-off upper level that houses what was the talk of the show: The Ride.<\/p>\n

In fact, if you look up at the structure at the precise moment, you catch a set of doors swinging open and moving theme-park cars with seated attendees as they loop around a deck outside the building before disappearing through another set of doors. As we stand outside the LVCC looking on, we notice all the phones raised to capture the moment. One person describes it as \u201cDisneyland over there.\u201d A few seconds later, the Las Vegas Monorail, wrapped in \u201cHey Google\u201d branding, sails along the raised platform behind Google\u2019s structure. Talk about visibility.<\/p>\n
