Arlington, VA — Start-ups, entrepre- neurs, exhibitors — all are encour- aged to pitch their products for a chance to be on the hit show “Shark Tank” on ABC. Shark Tank will host an open call for entrepreneurs who wish to appear on the TV show on January 8 at the 2015 International CES®. The open call will be held in section J of the Venetian Ballroom at The Venetian. Owned and produced by CEA, the 2015 CES, the global gathering place for all who thrive on the business of consumer technolo- gies, will run January 6-9, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Shark Tank, the 2014 Emmy
Award winner for Outstanding Struc - tured Reality Program, has entrepre- neurs pitch their ideas to a panel of tough, self-made, multi-millionaire and billionaire tycoons, including bil-

Exhibitors at CES, as well as the
general public, will have the opportu- nity to present their original product or idea to Shark Tank producers in hopes of getting the chance to appear on the show and potentially take their business to the next level. “We are extremely excited to collaborate with Shark Tank to offer a thrilling busi- ness and networking opportunity for our startup exhib itors at CES,” said Karen Chupka, senior vice president, International CES and corporate busi-
