Special Episode 20: CES 2026 | Behind the Scenes of the World's Biggest Tech Show
The Childfree Life By Design team just got back from CES in Las Vegas, and they're sharing everything: the coolest tech, the weirdest products, and what it's really like to run a booth at the world's biggest consumer electronics show.
From hip airbags and remote dementia diagnosis tools to robot dogs and AI-powered picture frames that clone voices, this episode covers it all. The team also reflects on community connections, including a special dinner with Childfree community members, and what they learned about the growing interest in Childfree resources from around the world.
Key Takeaways:
- Age tech is having a moment. Hip airbags, remote dementia diagnosis, subtitle glasses for hearing impairment, and exoskeletons for everyday use signal a shift toward technology that supports aging well.
- The Childfree mission resonates globally. International attendees and even parents expressed genuine interest in Childfree resources, confirming the team is on the right track.
- Community connection matters. The team dinner with Childfree community members was a highlight, reinforcing the value of gathering with people who just get it.
- Focus on the people who get it. Rather than convincing skeptics, spend energy on the millions who already understand and want to engage.
