Tracker status

expected

Date precision

Expected single-date signal; useful for monitoring, but not strong enough for irreversible plans.

Schema posture

Precise Event startDate schema is withheld so the page does not overstate an expected or windowed date.

This is an expected date. Use reminders and monitoring, but verify the source before making travel, purchase, publication, or staffing decisions.

Primary citation

The current date signal points to ces.tech. The source URL is shown visibly on the page so readers can verify late changes instead of relying only on the timer.

Freshness and review

Source policy was reviewed on 2026-04-30. Live countdown values are render-time snapshots; editorial source fields update when the tracked event dataset changes.

Operational detail

The record includes a source-local time and timezone, so city conversion pages can show a real local start time.

Weak-date handling

The page stays crawlable and useful, but confidence copy and schema posture are deliberately weaker than a confirmed event page.

What this countdown tracks

The clock above counts down to CES 2028 from Tuesday, January 4 to Friday, January 7, 2028 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, the world's largest consumer technology trade show, organised by the Consumer Technology Association.

About this event

CES (Consumer Electronics Show) is the most important annual trade show for the global consumer tech industry. Founded in 1967 as a summer New York event and moved to Las Vegas year-round in 1995, CES draws roughly 130,000+ attendees, 4,000+ exhibitors, and several thousand journalists across the Las Vegas Convention Center, Venetian Expo, and dozens of off-Strip activations. The show kicks off the calendar year for the consumer tech press and sets the narrative around AI PCs, automotive, smart home, TV, audio, robotics, accessibility, and increasingly health-tech and connected-vehicle infrastructure.

CES 2028 lands in a year when the AI-PC, automotive AI, and smart-home AI cycles are well into their second and third waves: Qualcomm's PC silicon, Intel's Panther Lake successors, AMD's mobile AI roadmap, and the broader Copilot+ ecosystem will all be in maturity. The CES Innovation Awards recognise standout products across roughly 30 categories announced across the fall and revealed at the show, and the keynote roster traditionally features executives from NVIDIA, Samsung, LG, Sony, Hyundai, Stellantis, and at least one major retail or platform CEO.

What to expect

Per CTA's stated cadence, expect day-zero media days (January 3-4) packed with NVIDIA, Samsung Display, LG Display, Sony, and major TV/PC OEM press events, followed by show-floor opening on January 5. Anticipated themes include the next generation of AI PCs and AI workstations, automotive software-defined vehicle (SDV) reveals, Hyundai/Kia/Stellantis EV-and-AI roadmaps, smart-home matter ecosystem expansion, and a rapidly growing humanoid robotics floor. NVIDIA's Jensen Huang keynote (typically the night before the show floor opens) has become a parallel CES kickoff with major automotive AI and Drive Thor expansion announcements.

Past editions

CES 2027 (Jan 6-9) returned with AI PCs in mainstream dominance and Samsung's Vision AI Home Hub as a flagship reveal.
CES 2026 highlighted Samsung's AI Home Hub, NVIDIA RTX 50-series refreshes, and a wave of AI-native consumer devices.
CES 2025 was the show's GenAI and AI-PC breakout year with dedicated AI floors, NVIDIA RTX 50-series, and Samsung's Project Moohan reference.
CES 2024 introduced the broader push around Matter smart-home devices and SDV automotive concepts from Honda, BMW, and VW.
CES 2023 marked the post-pandemic full return after the largely virtual 2022 edition.

How to watch

CES keynotes and major press conferences livestream free on CES.tech, on each company's YouTube channel, and on the CTA's official YouTube. Major Day-Zero press days run January 3-4, with NVIDIA's keynote typically the headline event in early-evening Pacific. The official show floor opens at 10:00 PT on January 5, which is 13:00 ET, 18:00 GMT, 19:00 CET, 23:30 IST, and 03:00 JST on January 6. Press registration via CES.tech opens in autumn 2027.

CES 2028 anchors the start of the tech-keynote calendar before Samsung Galaxy Unpacked Winter 2028, MWC Barcelona 2028, and NVIDIA GTC 2028. The 2027 precedent is at CES 2027. For the broader spring cycle, see Apple WWDC 2028 and Google I/O 2028.
