According to the calendar, we’re a mere weeks out from CES — the perfect gift for your gadget blogger who has everything. The massive consumer electronics and automotive event kicks off in Las Vegas on January 7.

TechCrunch is returning to the future home of the Oakland Athletics for the event, and — as always — we’re looking to meet with startups. Which startups? Could be yours, if you fill out this form (linked again at the bottom of this post).

Last year’s event housed more than 4,300 exhibitors and 135,000 attendees. With figures like that, it’s often difficult to find the real gems — especially with so many smaller companies tucked away in the massive convention center halls.

If you’re interested in getting your hardware startup in front of a TechCrunch reporter, drop your info here and we’ll (maybe) see you in Vegas.
