CES 2021 dates, times, ticket prices, keynote schedule

Published , by Donovan Erskine

CES 2021 kicks off next week as one of the first major conventions of 2021. Being an entirely digital event, it will be a change of pace from past shows. Regardless, there are still a ton of keynotes and presentations planned to take place during the official CES 2021 event from January 11-14. Here’s a look at registration, prices, and schedules.

CES 2021 tickets

Though CES 2021 is being held entirely online, attendees will still need to acquire tickets to experience the event. The show will remain limited to industry personal, and those looking to attend can do so via the official CES website. You’ll need to list your employers, as well as your intentions behind wanting to be a part of CES. Members of the media can receive free credentials, while other industry members will need to pay $499 for registration.

Everything included with registration to CES 2021, per the event’s website:

CES 2021 schedule and keynotes

CES 2021 will be held entirely online.

One of the biggest perks of CES 2021 going all-digital is that exhibitors and attendees can avoid all the woes that come with in-person events. That means there’s no “closing time” where folks have to leave the building. It also means that you can be more flexible with what events you choose to attend, as you can literally be in multiple places at once. That’s a good thing, because this year’s CES has a whopping 180 keynotes/events. 

The event runs from January 11-14, with the vast majority of keynotes taking place on January 12 and 13. This includes presentations from Verizon, AMD, Microsoft, and more. For a full list and schedule of everything going at CES 2021, visit the official website.
