CES 2022, scheduled January 5-8 in Las Vegas, will require in-person attendees to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination for attendees. For those who may be unable to travel to Las Vegas, the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) will again create a digital event that will run in parallel with the in-person program.
“Based on today’s science, we understand vaccines offer us the best hope for stopping the spread of COVID-19,” said Gary Shapiro, president and CEO, CTA. “We all play a part in ending the pandemic through encouraging vaccinations and implementing the right safety protocols. We are taking on our responsibility by requiring proof of vaccination to attend CES 2022 in Las Vegas.”
CTA is also assessing the acceptance of proof of a positive antibody test as an alternative requirement and will share more details on this later. CES will follow state and local guidelines and recommendations by the CDC. CTA will continue to monitor and evaluate the situation and will announce additional protocols closer to the show.
In Las Vegas, attendees will experience a host of new technologies from global companies, hear about the future of technology from thought leaders and collaborate face-to-face with other attendees.
Some 2,000 companies, including major brands and start-ups, will be in Las Vegas. CES 2022 will feature new categories showcasing how the industry is evolving, including space tech, food tech, and NFTs.
The show will highlight advancements in AI, AR/VR, gaming and computing, digital health, automotive and transportation, home entertainment, smart home and more. Audiences will hear from industry leaders during live keynotes, including General Motors Chair and CEO Mary Barra and T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert.
The CES keynote schedule will be updated regularly as speakers are announced.
