CES ‘can’t afford’ to run an event at Sphere in Las Vegas


The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) will not be holding an event at Sphere in Las Vegas, when the show opens in the city on 9 January. Gary Shapiro, president of the Consumer Technology Association, which owns the show, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal: “They quoted a price to us which was just like beyond our capacity. We’re a nonprofit organization. We turn money back to industry.” However, the International Conference on Consumer Electronics, which meets in Las Vegas just prior to CES, will have a panel discussion with Sphere engineers on 8 January. The Sphere will also run multiple showings of Darren Aronofsky’s Postcards from Earth film during the four-day CES show. Shapiro also told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that CES will be bigger in 2024 than this year. “It’s significantly above double digits by almost every measure above last year from attendance to square footage to the number of exhibitors,” he said.
