CES 2024 is coming back to Las Vegas the week of January 7, and it should be one of the biggest tech events in the world again.

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 and 2.4 million square feet of exhibit space to. Among this year’s features: The Goodyear blimp will show up.
