PLANNING FOR CES 2022
CES 2022 is returning to Las Vegas for a live, in-person event. Over 1100 companies including major brands and start-ups will be in Las Vegas January 5-8. We remain focused on bringing you the most influential tech event in the world.
Safety, security and health are a priority at CES. We will continue to evaluate and expand our health safety protocols as medical recommendations evolve. We will update this page regularly as protocols change so you know what to expect when you arrive in Las Vegas for CES.
Las Vegas opened its doors to tradeshows in June and we’ve have been adapting our plans based on new and evolving information for events. Travel and events have changed and so has CES. We want to ensure CES continues to help you make the connections you need to meet your customers, grow your business and your brand. PROOF OF COVID-19 VACCINATION REQUIRED
All attendees and exhibitors will need to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination in order to attend CES in Las Vegas. Attendees and exhibitors will need to be fully vaccinated with a vaccine approved or approved for emergency use by the FDA or World Health Organization (WHO). A list of approved vaccines can be found here.
CES will use CLEAR to administer proof of vaccination for U.S. based attendees. CLEAR’s free mobile app and Health Pass feature provides a simple and secure way for this information to be shared. For non-U.S. based attendees, we will use a similar, 3rd party platform to submit proof of vaccination. We will share more information on this in October.
CTA continues to monitor guidelines for health safety measures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Nevada and Clark County. CTA will follow applicable federal, state and local laws, adapting CES plans accordingly and sharing updates with you and other CES audiences. We are also working closely with the Las Vegas community, including the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, exhibit venues and hotels, and if they adjust their plans, we will communicate that as well. While the situation will continue to evolve over the coming months, read the information below for just some of the precautions we will implement.
