CES 2021 will be a very strange show.The biggest tech trading show held in Las Vegas every January has been forced to digitize this year thanks to Coronavirus.
Usually, CES is a huge real event where exhibits spread in 2.9 million square feet space.171,268 people participated in last year's event, of which 6,517 were media officials.According to Gary Shapiro, the highest executive (CEO) of CES, it will be an online event and will gather 1,000 exhibitors and 150,000 participants, according to Gary Shapiro, the highest executive (CEO).It was about to be.However, this will be a huge digital experience, so these numbers are not so bad in many ways.
Shapiro mentioned in an interview that international numbers would be extended because people who had never accessed CES would be for the first time.More than 100,000 people have already completed registration.
The only thing I can say is that it will be a very unusual event.
I spoke to Shapiro about this in an interview before the usual event.He mentioned that he had produced only employment in the last few years as a large -scale conference in Las Vegas (or lacked a part), and had to make a difficult decision by the transition to digital.He said he didn't.
He also states that the expectation for face -to -face events in January 2022 has increased, especially in vaccines.However, with regard to CES 2021, the CTA had to give up on the physical aspect, and announced in July that this show, which will be held for four days from January 11, in digital only.This event is a shorter session, but 100 hours of programs are available and media Day will be held (by the way, I will be in charge of sessions on cloud computing at pandemic.ing).
Shapiro mentioned 5G broadband wireless networks, 8K television, enterprise technology, healthstech, robot engineering, expansion reality, virtual reality, and drones, as hot technology.It may be more difficult this year to know all of these information, but this may be a media turn.
In political and regulated aspects, Shapiro seems to feel some "black atmosphere".He believes that regulatory authorities are aiming for technology companies' "crown gem".He said, "For European regulatory authorities and other people trying to hurt US companies, this is like a cat. Many US employees, shareholders, and pension funds depend on these companies.. They are stabilizing the stock market. "
So, from here, I would like to transcribe his interview full sentences.
