CES 2027 in Las Vegas: stay close to the show floor

CES is the world's most powerful tech event and a trade-only gathering reserved for professionals 18 and older who work in or with the consumer technology industry. The 2027 edition runs January 6–9 across Las Vegas, with exhibit floors, keynotes, conference tracks and dedicated innovation zones spread over a 12-venue campus. The show is where global brands close deals, startups debut from Eureka Park, and the industry's sharpest minds take the stage for keynotes and Great Minds sessions. CES Foundry, C Space and the Health Hub anchor the newest verticals, while Media Day at Mandalay Bay opens the week on Jan 4–5 for credentialed press only. Registering is not automatic: CES requires proof of industry affiliation, a unique email, a headshot for your badge and date of birth. Approval can take up to five business days, so plan early if you are travelling in from abroad and lining up accommodation near the Las Vegas Convention Center, Venetian Campus or ARIA.
