CES 2024 will highlight consumer AI — and the Goodyear blimp | Gary Shapiro interview

Last year, CES 2023 generated about 118,000 attendees and 3,200 exhibitors. It was the biggest number for the big tech trade show in Las Vegas since 2020 and it far outstripped the COVID-racked event in January 2022.

This year, the CES 2024 show is expected to be bigger with perhaps 130,000 attendees and 3,500 exhibitors expected, said Gary Shapiro, CEO of the Consumer Technology Association, in an interview with GamesBeat. Exhibitor space is also expected to grow 10% to 2.4 million, up from 2.2 million for CES 2023.
