The Consumer Technology Association (CTA), owner and producer of CES, the world’s most powerful tech event, announces Accenture Chair and CEO Julie Sweet will share her insights on the keynote stage at CES 2025 on January 8 at 2 p.m. in the Palazzo Ballroom at the Venetian. Accenture is a long-standing CES exhibitor, showcasing how businesses can leverage emerging technologies, including AI, to enhance customer experiences and operational efficiency.
“Accenture continues to be a driving force in innovation, continuing a legacy in technology services with groundbreaking work in AI,” said Gary Shapiro, CEO, CTA. “Under Julie’s leadership, Accenture became a leader in cloud and AI solutions and scaled sustainable business models for some of the world’s largest companies.”
Sweet is a premier advisor to the world’s most influential business leaders, guiding them through the AI-powered reinvention of their enterprises. Her leadership and guidance touch virtually every sector and region, helping companies harness the potential of AI, data and emerging technologies.
She has been recognised on TIME’s 100 Most Influential People, as one of Fortune's Most Powerful Women in Business and by Forbes as one of The World’s 100 Most Powerful Women. Sweet became CEO in September 2019 and assumed the additional position of chair in September 2021.
During CES 2021, Sweet shared her predictions on the next decade of tech trends, and how tech can help companies and society bridge gaps and divides.
Accenture is a talent- and innovation-led company with 774,000 people serving clients in more than 120 countries. The company has become the go-to partner for businesses seeking to reinvent using tech, data, AI and new ways of working. Accenture views generative AI as holding tremendous potential as a catalyst for reinvention; the company had $3 billion in new generative AI bookings in its recently completed fiscal year 2024.

I look forward to hearing what Julie believes is next.”
This announcement comes a week after Accenture and NVIDIA announced an expanded partnership, including Accenture’s formation of a new NVIDIA Business Group, to help the world’s enterprises rapidly scale their AI adoption.
