CES 2021 to Take Place Virtually
The virtual event will feature demos from many leading semiconductor and power companies.
CES is hosting its first-ever online-only trade show from Jan. 11 to Jan. 14. The 55th annual event was initially planned for Las Vegas, but organizers canceled the in-person program in July and opted for an online-only format.
Pre-pandemic, CES 2020 drew a turnout of around 170,000 attendees to Las Vegas last January, with more than 4,400 exhibitors showcasing over 20,000 products and services across 36 product categories.
