Consumer electronics trade shows 2027: CES, smart home & hi-fiSwitch it on. Let them try it.

CES 2027 runs January 6–9, 2027 in Las Vegas, across the Las Vegas Convention Center, the Venetian Expo and the C Space venues. CES Unveiled Las Vegas, the press preview, is January 4, 2027, per CES.

CES 2027 spreads across several Las Vegas campuses: the Las Vegas Convention Center (Central, North, South and West Halls), the Venetian Expo with Eureka Park and the CES Innovation Awards showcase in Hall G, C Space, and CES Foundry at Fontainebleau for AI and quantum, per CES.

CES. The 2026 edition drew 148,392 attendees in its audit, 55,841 of them from outside the U.S., from 141 countries, regions and territories, with 4,100+ exhibitors on 2.6M+ net sq ft, per CES. CES 2027 runs January 6–9, 2027 in Las Vegas.

148,392 attendees at CES 2026 (audited), including 55,841 from outside the U.S., 7,037 media, creators and analysts and 2,162 investors in Eureka Park. 52% of attendees were senior level and 61% of Fortune 500 companies attended, per CES.

CES publishes no public rate card. Exhibit space, meeting space (ballrooms, meeting rooms, exhibit suites and lounges) and branding packages are booked through CES sales, and rates sit in the exhibitor manuals. On top of space, budget for the booth itself, electrical, wired internet, material handling, labor and Las Vegas hotels. We build custom booths from 10×20 up with one all-in price on a fixed proposal.

Eureka Park is the startup area of CES at the Venetian Expo, with some 1,200 startups and 2,162 investors in 2026, per CES. To apply, a company must be 5 years old or less, Series B or earlier, with demo-ready consumer technology; components for another device do not qualify. Startups are generally limited to two years in Eureka Park, and companies that exhibited elsewhere at CES are typically ineligible.

CES 2028 runs January 11–14, 2028 and CES 2029 runs January 9–12, 2029, both in Las Vegas, per CES.

ShowStoppers @ CES 2027 is an evening press showcase on January 6, 2027, 6 to 9 pm, in the Bellagio Grand Ballroom, during CES opening day. Consumer tech brands and startups show products to domestic and international technology journalists, reviewers and creators. It works on top of, or instead of, a floor booth.

No. CEDIA Expo 2027 is the first edition outside Denver. The show now rotates: Las Vegas in 2027, Orlando in 2028, Las Vegas in 2029 and Dallas in 2030.

Space at CES is booked through CES sales, and every exhibitor manual sets a date when freight must reach the advance warehouse. Our builds take 30 to 45 days, so we work back from that date, and we build and print in our Las Vegas shop, close to the halls.

Yes. We design and build custom booths from 10×20 up, with one all-in price on a fixed proposal, 30 to 45 day builds and your own project manager on the floor, who runs the install with the labor the show requires. We have shops in Fishkill, NY and Las Vegas, and we have worked with 3,000+ exhibitors since 2015.

Eureka Park at CES is built for it: companies 5 years old or less, Series B or earlier, with demo-ready consumer technology, in front of some 2,162 investors (2026, per CES). For press without a floor booth, ShowStoppers on January 6, 2027 puts a tabletop demo in front of journalists and creators.
