Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the world's largest consumer technology conference, is set to take place in Las Vegas from January 5-8. This annual event attracts thousands of attendees from around the globe, including tech industry leaders, startups, media, and consumers.

CES 2023 is expected to focus on emerging technologies such as 5G connectivity, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality.

With the rapid pace of technological advancement, CES is the perfect place for attendees to get a glimpse into the future of consumer technology. Some of the products in the exhibition are not expected to hit the market any time soon.

CES attendees can expect panel discussions and keynote speeches from industry leaders discussing the latest trends and innovations.

According to the organizers, 174 countries are represented, 320 of the Fortune Global 500 companies—the top firms in the world by revenue—have registered for the event, 60% of registered guests are senior-level executives, and 41 distinct technology categories are covered.

The show's organizers aim to draw 100,000 visitors in January. The previous two gatherings witnessed a major drop in participation due to COVID-19 restrictions.

The January CES event will still have 41% fewer attendees than the live exhibition held in early 2020, before the epidemic, even if the organizers meet their target.

"In terms of CES, the companies are coming big. And they’re going to be showcasing some of these solutions that were critical during the pandemic. The momentum and excitement we’re seeing for the show hasn’t been impact," Kinsey Fabrizio, senior vice president at the trade group Consumer Technology Association, told AP.
