CES 2024: Dates, ticket prices, exhibitors, and everything else you must know

CES 2024 is nearly here.

If you're a tech-focused person, get your best walking shoes prepared and your warmer-weather clothes ready for the massive, fun convention in Las Vegas.

The massive tech event creates headlines and debuts new products each year, and we've got all the details you need for the 2024 edition.

What is CES 2024?

First off, in case you didn't know, CES is an acronym for Consumer Electronics Show. And, well, the event is exactly what it sounds like. It's a massive convention in Vegas focused on tech products mostly intended for everyday people. Last year, for instance, some of the highlights included a device that turned Apple devices into high-powered camera monitors, an accessibility-minded gaming controller, and AR glasses.

This year, it seems like TVs could be a big focus, considering TCL has already shown off the prototype for a foldable television.

The convention features thousands of exhibitors, major product launches, and presentations by huge names in tech. In short, it's one of — if not the — biggest events in the tech world.

When is CES 2024?

The 2024 edition of CES is scheduled for Jan. 9-12, with some media-only events in the preceding days. You can find the entire schedule on CES's website.

CES 2024 ticket prices

Here's the tricky part about CES: You have to been an industry member, media member, or exhibitor to attend. It is not open to the general public. How does one prove they're in the industry. CES lists a number of ways, including a business card, proof of employment, your name on a company website, or a recent media article listing you as an industry professional.

Now, once you're allowed in, the cost of tickets vary. Since we've passed the deadline for discounted tickets, they now cost $350 for an exhibits plus pass. That gets you into most of the standard experiences and grants you access to exhibitor booths. A deluxe pass, which costs $1700, adds on extra conference programming, partner programming, and other features.

CES is set to get underway quite soon, so if you want to go, make plans now. But if you cannot make it, be sure to watch out for all of Mashable's on-the-ground coverage.
