A scaled-down CES closed Jan. 7, a day earlier than usual, as an added safety measure as COVID-19 cases once again surge worldwide. The Consumer Technology Association (CTA) defied calls to cancel the show and implemented strict safety measures, including requiring all attendees to be vaccinated and wear masks at all indoor functions, including the show floor. Despite a rash of high-profile cancellations Christmas week, including Amazon, Meta (Facebook) and Google, the show wound up with more than 2,300 exhibitors, more than expected — and while the final attendee count is not yet in, traffic was fairly heavy throughout the show’s run, which began Jan. 5, at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
