CES 2027 takes place January 6 through 9 in Las Vegas, bringing consumer technology companies, enterprise suppliers, startups, investors and media together for product demonstrations and business meetings. The Las Vegas Convention Center is the largest exhibition venue, with additional CES activity across other Las Vegas campuses.
The show covers artificial intelligence, computing, automotive technology, robotics, digital health, home electronics, energy and industrial applications. Exhibitors use CES to introduce products and meet distribution partners, while buyers and analysts can compare technologies in person.
Dates and visitor planning
Exhibits open January 6 and continue through January 9. Media activities begin January 4, and parts of the conference program begin before the main exhibit opening. The organizer lists different operating hours for individual days and venues, so attendees should confirm their schedules before booking meetings.
CES Foundry, a separate AI and quantum-focused program at Fontainebleau Las Vegas, is scheduled for January 6 through 8. The main exhibition spans multiple locations; travel time between campuses should be allowed for when scheduling appointments.
Who should attend
CES is aimed at the technology industry and media. Manufacturers, software firms, suppliers, retailers, corporate buyers and investors can use the event to assess products and build commercial relationships. Registration requirements and pass entitlements vary. Attendees should check access conditions for conferences and special programs before travel.
For companies exhibiting, preparation should start with booth logistics, appointment scheduling and a clear product demonstration. For visitors, selecting a small number of relevant sectors and mapping the venues can make a sprawling show much more useful.
Event details and registration are available through the official CES website.
