 Consumer Electronics Association moves to Arlington : The Consumer Electronics Association will move its headquarters to a new location in Arlington. Inspired by the need for more space to provide for growth of the association, and to better reflect its culture and work style, Consumer Electronics Association purchased and refurbished the building at 1919 S. Eads Street in the Crystal City section of Arlington, VA. The new CEA building is located in the heart of Crystal City business corridor and is close to Washington, DC and Washington Reagan National Airport. “This is more than a new home for CEA. The building reflects CEA’s growth, the industry’s excitement and our optimism about the future,” said Gary Shapiro, president & CEO.
