Tech's big gadget show edges closer to gender equity

The world's largest tech conference has apparently learned a big lesson about gender equity. CES, the huge annual consumer-electronics show in Las Vegas, caught major flak from activists in late 2017 when it unveiled an all-male lineup of keynote speakers for the second year in a row. Although it later added two female keynoters, the gathering's'boys' club' reputation remained intact. Stripper robots perform at the Sapphire Gentlemen's Club on the sidelines of CES 2018 in Las Vegas. It didn't help that one of the unsanctioned events latching on to CES last year was a nightclub featuring female'robot strippers.'
