CES 2022: Microsoft, Google, Intel are latest to drop out over COVID surge
原文:
The big consumer electronics show in Las Vegas, set for early January, will
still take place though dozens of exhibitors have canceled in-person
appearances.
Despite the lengthening list of departing exhibitors, the Consumer Technology
Association, which runs CES, said Thursday that additional exhibitors have
signed up for physical space on the show floor. "While we recently received
42 exhibitor cancellations (less than 7% of our exhibit floor)," the CTA
said, "since last Friday we've added 60 new exhibitors for our in person
event."
Though higher-profile companies are announcing withdrawals, the CTA
emphasized that the show floor also plays host to small and medium-size
companies.
Over 2200 companies are confirmed to participate in person at CES 2022 in Las
Vegas. Our focus remains on convening the tech industry and giving those who
cannot attend in person the ability to experience the magic of CES digitally.
