Attendees of the world’s largest tech trade show, CES, began arriving by the planeload this week in advance of its official opening on Thursday, which includes two days of pre-show events.

More than 100,000 people are expected to attend this year’s show — more than twice the attendance of CES 2022 — but well short of the estimated 180,000 who arrived for the 2019 event. The show, which displays the latest in consumer gadgets and gizmos, is open to consumer electronics executives and professionals, but not the general public.

Executives with the sponsoring Consumer Technology Association say they’re excited to return to Las Vegas in full force.
