CES 2022 to Require Proof of Vaccination to Attend
The Consumer Technology Association (CTA) will require in-person attendees to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination to attend CES 2022, the organization announced.
CES 2022 will take place in Las Vegas on Jan. 5-8, 2022. For those who may be unable to travel to Las Vegas, CTA will again create a digital event that will run in parallel with the in-person program.
“Based on today’s science, we understand vaccines offer us the best hope for stopping the spread of COVID-19,” said Gary Shapiro, president and CEO, CTA. “We all play a part in ending the pandemic through encouraging vaccinations and implementing the right safety protocols. We are taking on our responsibility by requiring proof of vaccination to attend CES 2022 in Las Vegas.”
CTA is also assessing the acceptance of proof of a positive antibody test as an alternative requirement and will share more details on this later, event organizers said. Safety, security and health are a priority at CES, and they will follow state and local guidelines and recommendations by the CDC. CTA will continue to monitor and evaluate the situation and will announce additional or modified protocols closer to the show.
