Exotica Searches at the CMS Experiment

This conference report presents the results of searches for various new physics phenomena in the proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV delivered by LHC and collected with the CMS detector in 2010. While the sensitivity of these early searches varies, in many cases they set the most stringent limits on these new physics phenomena. These results demonstrate good understanding of the detector and backgrounds in a variety of channels, which is a fundamental component of successful searches in view of the much larger data sample expected to be delivered by LHC in 2011 and beyond.
