CES 2023 will have approximately 100,000 attendees, more than double last year's number during the Omicron wave, according to the Consumer Technology Association.
Last year's biggest tech show was a disaster thanks to the Omicron wave. Only about 45,000 attendees showed up at CES 2022, well below the 171,268 who showed up at the previous physical event in early 2020. But for its next installment, the show could more than double 2022's attendance. , said Gary Shapiro, CEO of CTA, which hosts CES 2023 in Las Vegas in early January.

“CES 2023 is going to change. Extremely strong, lots of passionate interest. Most of the big companies are at CES. Great pre-registration,” Shapiro said.
This year there will be new themes such as mobile technology focused on marine environments, as well as a live demo session with the International Space Station.
There will be a whole focus on the metaverse and Internet 3.0, Shapiro said, and many healthcare technologies will be on display.
