The Consumer Technology Association (CTA) announced on December 31 that it would shorten CES 2022 by one day as an additional security protocol from Covid, ending the program on January 7, 2022, instead of January 8.
"As the world's most influential technology event, CES is firmly committed to being the place to meet to showcase products and discuss ideas that will ultimately improve our lives," said Gary Shapiro, CTA president and CEO, in a press release announcing the move. .
“We are shortening the fair to three days and we have implemented comprehensive sanitary measures for the safety of all attendees and attendees. "
CTA says there will still be around 2.200 in-person exhibitors at the show, although many of the major industry players such as AT&T, AMD, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Lenovo and others have canceled their in-person attendance.
TechRadar, Tom's Guide, CNET, and several other major news outlets also canceled in-person coverage of the event.
