CES 2026: The Signal Clearly — Special Episode, Live from Las Vegas with Rio Longacre & Brett House

From the show floor to the executive suites, CES 2026 wasn’t just another technology expo — it was a global turning point for AI, media, data, and the future of digital experiences. In this special edition of Signal & Noise, co-hosts Rio Longacre and Brett House bring you their top takeaways, on-the-ground interviews, and operator-first analysis straight from Las Vegas. In this finale episode of our CES series, Rio and Brett break down how AI has moved from feature to foundation — reshaping go-to-market strategies, content ecosystems, and the connective tissue between brands, agencies, and consumers. They dive into why AI isn’t just automating yesterday’s playbook but reinventing how decisions get made and value gets created. Along the way, you’ll hear candid field notes and executive voices from across the ecosystem — from founders and technologists to data leaders — illuminating what matters most heading into 2026 and beyond. Whether it’s AI infrastructure, data ontology, media activation, or the renewed energy of in-person connections after years of remote events, this episode captures the signal above the noise.Hit play to learn:- Why AI is now the operating system of modern business- How semantic layers and probabilistic data are reshaping media performance- What executives are prioritizing in a future where trust and context matter more than ever- Real talk on the return of deep human interaction in a digital worldThis is Signal & Noise CES 2026 — an operator’s view on what’s next.
