CES 2028

CES 2028 takes place 11–14 January 2028 in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States, produced by the Consumer Technology Association. CES has become the year's first and largest reckoning with where applied AI actually is: at CES 2026, artificial intelligence appeared across nearly every major product category, with televisions, appliances, wearables, vehicles, robots and infrastructure systems relying on on-device or hybrid AI models for perception, control and adaptation, and robotics arriving in force as "physical AI". The audited CES 2026 numbers give the scale a 2028 attendee should plan for: 148,392 participants, 4,100+ exhibitors across 2.6M+ net square feet including some 1,200 startups in Eureka Park, 55,841 international participants (37.6%) from 141 countries, 2,162 investors, 307 Fortune 500 companies and 400+ conference sessions with 1,400+ speakers. CTA has confirmed the 2028 dates; registration and the conference programme open later.

• ✓CTOs, CIOs and CDOs

• ✓Retail and consumer-brand executives
• ✓Automotive and mobility technology leaders
• ✓Startup founders and investors
• ✓Technology analysts and media

CES is a scouting exercise, not a learning one, and it is worth a CTO or Chief Digital Officer's week for exactly that reason. In four days you can see the AI capability every consumer-facing category is committing to for the following two years, meet roughly 1,200 startups in a single hall rather than through a year of intro calls, and pressure-test your own roadmap against 4,000-plus vendors and 307 Fortune 500 companies in the same place. For anyone whose products touch devices, vehicles, retail or the home, it is the cheapest way to find out what your competitors have decided before they announce it — and to meet the suppliers and investors who already know.

• ✓Exhibition halls across the Las Vegas campus covering 2.6M+ net square feet in the 2026 edition
• ✓Eureka Park startup hall — around 1,200 early-stage companies
• ✓Conference programme: 400+ sessions with 1,400+ speakers at CES 2026
• ✓Keynote programme from major technology, automotive and media companies
• ✓Vehicle technology and mobility exhibits
• ✓Digital health exhibits and programme
• ✓Physical AI / robotics exhibits
• ✓Innovation Awards programme
• ✓Investor and media programmes — 2,162 investors and 7,037 media and analysts attended CES 2026

• ★Scale nothing else matches: the audited CES 2026 edition drew 148,392 participants and 4,100+ exhibitors across 2.6M+ net square feet, with third-party attendance auditing that exceeds UFI standards — so the numbers are verifiable rather than promotional.
• ★The most genuinely international technology event on the calendar — 55,841 international participants, 37.6% of the total, from 141 countries, regions and territories.
• ★Eureka Park concentrates roughly 1,200 startups in one hall, which makes it the single most efficient scouting floor for early-stage AI and hardware companies anywhere.
• ★AI is no longer a zone at CES but the substrate of the whole show: at CES 2026 it ran through televisions, appliances, wearables, vehicles, robots and infrastructure, with robotics framed as "physical AI".
• ★The buyer side is unusually senior — senior-level executives were 52% of CES 2026 attendees, alongside 2,162 investors, 189 government leaders and 307 Fortune 500 companies.
• ★Dates are confirmed by CTA more than two years ahead, so budget, hotel and booth planning can start now.
