Recently, Consumer Technology Association reported that CES 2022 will occur face to face on January 5-8 in Las Vega as arranged.

Following the declaration, a few organizations including Google, Twitter, Lenovo, Intel, Meta, and T-Mobile have retreated from the in-person presence at the CES because of the general wellbeing concerns identified with the pandemic circumstance.

General Motors said Thursday it will move to “an all-digital approach” at the annual event that has become a major venue for the unveiling of innovation in the automotive industry.

Google said later that it made the decision to pull out after “closely monitoring the development of the omicron variant.” The decision to bypass attendance at the trade show “is the best choice for the health and safety of our teams,”

In a blog post earlier Thursday, Google’s sister company, Waymo, also cited rising Covid-19 infection rates and said its executives would participate in virtual events.

The Consumer Technology Association (CES 2022), which runs the event, said Wednesday that the cancellations add up to less than 7% of its exhibit floor. The organization said it has received 42 cancellation notices from exhibitors but that it has added 60 new ones since last week.
