Consumer Electronics Show 2022 Being Held In-Person Despite Omicron Fears Attracts 15,000 Sign-Ups

Organizers said on Friday that in the past 10 days, about 15,000 people registered to participate in the global technology exhibition CES, which shows that despite global concerns about the Omicron variant of the coronavirus, the momentum of the live event is good.

Organizers said that so far, a total of “tens of thousands” have registered to participate in the exhibition, but did not quote specific figures.

The Omicron variant was first discovered in Southern Africa and Hong Kong last month, raising global concerns about the rapid spread of the virus and reducing the prospect of increased travel in the near future. More than 1,900 companies have pledged to participate in the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January, about half of the pre-pandemic level.

Large companies such as Sony and industry executives such as General Motors CEO Mary Barra plan to travel to Las Vegas, although some companies, including Nvidia, have planned to exist in a virtual way for some time.

“We are not unrealistic: the scale of this year’s show will shrink,” said Jean Foster, senior vice president of marketing and communications for the Consumer Technology Association, which organizes the CES show. “It allows us to widen the aisle and adapt to social distancing.” She said that the interest in attending in person is still “at full speed.”

All participants will be required to present a complete COVID-19 vaccination certificate, and the exhibition will be open from January 5th to 8th.
