CES 2022 To Go On With Downsized Crowd, Masking, Vaccination Certificate Amid Rising Coronavirus Cases

The organisers of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), one of the world's biggest trade fairs, have decided to go ahead with the planned event and draw crowds with a downsized expo.

New Delhi: The organisers of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), one of the world's biggest trade fairs, have decided to go ahead with the planned event and draw crowds with a downsized expo and a number of companies withdrawing from physical presence at CES. However, proof of vaccination and masking is mandatory at CES 2022 which has been cut short by one day to end on Friday, the media has reported.

"We are confident that attendees and exhibitors can have a socially distanced but worthwhile and productive event in Las Vegas," CES organisers wqas quoted as saying by news agency told AFP in an email. The event organisers have not revealed the number of cancellations though.

This comes even after several tech giants have announced pulling out of the on-site presence at Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2022 in Las Vegas. Brands that have made the announcement include Google, its self-driving auto firm Waymo  and General Motors (GM) that have become the latest companies to join the bandwagon of firms that have extracted themselves from physical presence at the event in the wake of the rising cases of Omicron variant of Coronavirus globally.

Companies like Amazon, Lenovo and Intel had earlier announced they will extract themselves from the in-person presence at the CES 2022.

The Consumer Technology Association (CTA), the governing body on CES, plans to go ahead with the show, but companies such as Meta, Twitter, Amazon, T-Mobile, AT&T, TikTok, Pinterest, along with several media outlets, have also announced withdrawal from the consumer electronics show.
