When is CES 2027?
CES (Consumer Electronics Show) is the world's largest consumer tech showcase, held every January in Las Vegas. CES 2027 is expected to follow the same early-January pattern the show has kept for decades, typically opening the first full week after New Year's Day.

CES 2027 also marks the show's 60th anniversary, which the Consumer Technology Association is treating as a milestone edition rather than a routine year — expect added retrospective programming alongside the usual product launches. That extra draw historically pushes hotel demand near the Las Vegas Convention Center and Venetian Expo campuses higher than a typical CES, so registering and booking lodging early tends to matter more this cycle than most.

CES 2026 by the numbers
To put the 2027 show's expected scale in context, the most recently completed edition — CES 2026 — drew 148,392 independently audited attendees, including 55,841 international participants from 141 countries, regions, and territories. More than 4,100 exhibitors filled 2.6 million net square feet of show floor, among them roughly 1,200 startups in the Eureka Park pavilion, and 307 of the 2025 Fortune 500 spent time on site.

Category-level data from that audit also hints at where 2027's floor traffic is likely to concentrate: AI-focused sessions and exhibits drew 39,929 attendees in 2026, up 22% year over year, while robotics drew 19,605, up 26%. For scale, attendance still sits below CES's pre-pandemic peak of 182,198 in 2018, but has climbed steadily since bottoming out near 45,000 in 2022 — a recovery trend the 60th-anniversary edition looks positioned to extend rather than reverse.
