While CES returned to an in-person format for 2022 after going all-virtual in 2021 due to the global health crisis, many high-profile exhibitors and media representatives pulled out of in-person activities in the weeks leading up to the event due to rising cases.
CES announcements cover a broad variety of products across consumer electronics from companies of all sizes. In a typical year, many of the companies would be on-site at the show to demonstrate their products, some of which may still be in pre-production stages with releases planned for later in the year.
