As another new year rolls around, it’s time for CES 2024, one of the biggest tech events on the calendar. Known in years gone by as the Consumer Electronics Show, CES 2024 is shaping up to be another big expo.
Last year’s event saw plenty of announcements from major players including Samsung, LG, Hisense, TCL, Asus, Roborock and more. Among the reveals, there will be plenty of new TVs, computers, gaming gear, and the latest car technology.
Here’s everything you need to know about this year’s event. Make sure to check back regularly for the latest news on what’s coming to Australia.
What is CES 2024?
Each January, the Consumer Technology Association hosts a big tech bonanza in Las Vegas, attracting exhibitors and media from all over the world. CES is an all-encompassing show where many of the biggest brands announce devices set to arrive in 2024, in addition to cutting-edge concept demos that may never hit shelves.
The event typically sets the agenda for the year to follow, teasing the trends that will inform upcoming devices. CES 2024 will have more than 4,000 exhibitors in attendance, with 130,000 people expected to gather in Las Vegas.
This year’s theme is “All On”, referring to the entire tech ecosystem on display at the event. Many of the announcements at CES 2024 will revolve around artificial intelligence, security, mobility, and sustainability. Several companies have already revealed devices ahead of the event, where attendees will be able to demo new tech before anyone else.
When is this year’s event?
CES 2024 starts slightly later than last year’s event, officially commencing on Tuesday 9 January Pacific Standard Time (PST) and running until Friday 12 January. Media get to take an early look, so expect to see plenty of news before the doors throw open.
Who will be at CES 2024?
If you can name a big tech brand, it’s highly likely they’ll be at the event in some capacity. Most of the action takes place early in the Australian morning, although some press conferences are at more Aussie-friendly times.
Here are some of the major companies at CES 2024 and when they’ll take centre stage;
Samsung
