'Extreme privilege': Ivanka Trump faces backlash over keynote speech at CES

Decision to have president's daughter deliver keynote invited scathing criticism, especially from women in the tech industry

Ivanka Trump's appearance at a major technology conference in Las Vegas has been met with a backlash from industry figures, who denounced her "privilege" and lack of tech qualifications.

Trump spoke in a keynote session on Tuesday afternoon at CES, a consumer electronics trade show, on "the path to the future of work". In an interview with Gary Shapiro, the CEO of the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), which organizes the show, she addressed technology's role in creating and enabling the workforce of the future.
