CES 2022 Drew 40,000 Attendees: CTA

CTA's first in-person CES during the global pandemic drew “well over” 40,000 before the abbreviated show closed Friday after a three-day run, it announced. That's about 23% of the “total verified attendance” at CES 2020, according to that show’s audit report. International visitors made up some 30% of CES 2022's audience, said CTA. Virtually all who commented about low show attendance said they used this to personal advantage, such as enjoying shorter taxi, monorail or concession lines and the ability to engage in deeper conversations with clients, customers and friends they hadn’t seen face to face in two years.
