Next week at the CES 2023 trade show in Las Vegas, we’ll once again be able to see and hear about the latest tech trends in person.
This year, the organizers of CES 2024 expect more than 130,000 attendees through January 12, with hundreds of speakers, 3,500-plus exhibitors and 2.4 million square feet of exhibit space, according to Gary Shapiro, CEO of the Consumer Technology Association, the trade group that stages the event.
That’s a reasonable step up from last year’s event with 118,000 people, 3,200 exhibitors and 2.1 million square feet. And it means showgoers will have to pay attention to how to avoid crowds in Las Vegas. If you’re a veteran of the show, make sure you don’t go to the South Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) because it’s closed this year. I’ve done my tips and tricks for attending CES 2024 already and this story is about what to expect beyond the bigger crowds.
Last year, there were 4,800 media at the event. Like me, they will start showing up at the event on Sunday for a tech trends talk at 4 p.m. and the CES Unveiled press event at 5 p.m. Sunday. That’s always a good place for me to spot some trends among the award winners displaying at the event.
On Monday, the press conferences will start at 8 a.m. with LG and finished up at 5 p.m. with Sony, with others like Bosch, Panasonic, Samsung, TCL and others vying for the press attention during the day. Most of these affairs will likely be livestreamed in case you can’t be one of the lucky press jammed into a room elbow to elbow with other press. I’m quite fearful I’m going to run out of battery power on this day.
