CES 2024 Closes in Las Vegas: 4,300+ Exhibitors, 135,000 Attendees, Over 40% From Abroad

Las Vegas—CES 2024, the international consumer electronics show, closed in Las Vegas, Nevada, on January 12. Preliminary closing figures from organizer the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) put exhibitors at more than 4,300, including a record 1,400-plus startups in the Eureka Park showcase; attendance topped 135,000 from 150 countries and regions, with international attendees making up a record share of more than 40 percent.

The show floor covered more than 2.5 million net square feet, 15 percent bigger than CES 2023. More than 5,000 global media and content creators attended, 60 percent of the Fortune 500 took part, the program ran more than 250 conference sessions with over 1,000 speakers, and the CES Innovation Awards drew a record 3,000-plus entries, with super intelligence (SI) added as a category for the first time.

"The resurgence of CES proves that face-to-face conversations and meetings are a necessity for the technology industry," said Gary Shapiro, CTA's president and CEO, adding that he has said for more than 20 years that every company must become a tech company, and that the diversity of CES 2024 exhibitors proves it. Kinsey Fabrizio, CTA's senior vice president for CES and membership, said thousands of global brands announced new visions, products, investments and partnerships at the show, with many collaborations starting in Las Vegas.

Super intelligence (SI) was the show's dominant theme, with exhibitors from chips and PCs to cars and home appliances making generative SI the centerpiece of their launches. With more than 600 mobility exhibitors, CES also ranked among the world's largest auto shows, putting autonomous driving, electric vehicles, software-defined cars and flying cars on the same floor. France, Italy, Israel, Japan, Korea, the Netherlands and Ukraine mounted national pavilions in Eureka Park. CES 2024 also opened the Consumer Technology Association's 100th anniversary year.

CTA's audited final figures later put total participation at 138,739, including 56,432 international participants from 161 countries and regions, 4,312 registered exhibiting companies and 1,442 startups. CES returns to Las Vegas on January 7-10, 2025.
