Consumer Technology Association (CTA), who is in charge of the event held the 2021 edition completely online. Since it first began in 1967, this is the first time the CES was an all-online event.
Earlier this year, they had hinted at a partial digital and partial physical event. It will still feature events such as keynotes and conferences, product showcases, meetings and networking.
They said in a statement, “We plan to return to Las Vegas for CES 2022, combining the best elements of a physical and digital show.”
While most big tech companies may be able to withdraw, most tech startups will show off their technology. The CTA is closely monitoring the January 5-8 in-person event, as it draws nigh.
