Hello, communicators:

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) has announced it will return to Las Vegas in January of next year as an in-person event following 2021’s virtual show. The Consumer Technology Association (CTA) which organizes the event says that around 1,000 companies have committed to exhibit including Amazon, AT&T, Dell, Google, IBM, Lenovo and more.

“Our customers are enthusiastic about returning to a live event in Las Vegas,” Karen Chupka, EVP of CES said in a statement. “Global brands and startups have shared that plans are already well underway and are committed to sharing the magic of an in-person CES with even more people from around the world.”

Communicators, consult industry partners and colleagues when solidifying plans to resume appearances at in-person events. Work with big names in your industry to help influence policy and procedure, and discuss federal and local health and safety guidelines with them to ensure that any in-person event creates the safest experience possible for all attendees.
