CES
About This Show
CES is the world's most influential technology event, produced annually by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA). The 2027 edition runs January 6-9 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, spilling across additional venues throughout Las Vegas as it has for decades. CES is where the consumer-technology industry sets its agenda for the year: major manufacturers, chipmakers, automakers, and thousands of startups use the show to unveil products and strategies across artificial intelligence, mobility and automotive technology, digital health, smart home, sustainability, and immersive entertainment.
With roughly 140,000 attendees and about 4,500 exhibiting companies, CES pairs a vast exhibition floor with a dense conference program of keynotes and sessions led by executives, policymakers, and technologists. The Eureka Park section has become one of the most closely watched startup showcases in the world, and the show's product announcements routinely shape coverage and buying trends for months afterward.
CES is a trade event rather than a public expo, aimed at manufacturers, retailers, developers, investors, and media who need a single vantage point on where consumer technology is heading. For attendees and exhibitors alike it remains the essential January fixture for benchmarking competitors, sourcing suppliers, and reading the direction of the global tech market.
