Global Tech Extravaganza
The Consumer Technology Association expects around 130,000 in-person attendees, reflecting a notable surge from last year's 115,000 participants, even amid concerns about the Omicron variant.
With over 4,000 exhibitors and 1,200 startups from across the globe, the show remains a hotspot for dealmaking, product launches, and discussions shaping the year's tech landscape.
Notable figures like Snap co-founder Evan Spiegel and Walmart CEO Doug McMillon will grace the stage, contributing to the diverse conversations that CES facilitates.

About 60% of Fortune 500 companies will be present, emphasizing CES as an influential platform for discussions that transcend the tech spectrum.
According to Engadget, the event explores uncharted territories, with beauty joining the official product categories, marked by L'Oreal's CEO delivering a keynote.
While Apple is notably absent, AI's role takes center stage, reinforcing that an AI narrative is essential for any tech company seeking relevance in today's dynamic landscape.
As CES unfolds, AI's transformative power, showcased through novel applications and technological integrations, solidifies its status as the linchpin for tomorrow's tech evolution.
