CES 2022 Offers Hybrid Experience With Free Livestreamed Keynotes

CES 2022 takes place as a hybrid event in Las Vegas, blending in-person booths with virtual livestreams for remote viewers. The show features over 2,200 exhibitors, including major tech companies like LG, Samsung, Sony, and Nvidia, showcasing cutting-edge gadgets across home entertainment, gaming, and computing.
While the full digital venue requires expensive registration reserved for media and industry professionals, the general public can still watch select keynote presentations for free. Unlike the fully open E3 expo, CES restricts its comprehensive virtual access to those who meet stringent professional criteria.
The event officially runs from January 5 to January 7, with the schedule shortened by one day as a COVID-19 precaution. Several major companies like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft withdraw from the physical showfloor, but their absence leaves plenty of time for the remaining exhibitors to present their publicly available keynotes starting January 4.
