I really feel for the CTA, it had no choice but to press on with #CES2022, but that doesn't make it an event I'd rush to attend.

Such a shame though. Like last year, I will miss being there, seeing everyone, and trying new tech.https://t.co/bMjbhrs78s

Not sure how the trade show industry can survive another year - feel for those who were counting on this event to bring revenue back to bruised market https://t.co/Znk6jDxnAj

RIP CES, again. January is unfortunately the worst timing for a conference in this COVID-19 world: Early enough in the year to be hopeful, but late enough in the winter that the quick surge makes it difficult to cancel and unclear when to reschedule to. https://t.co/8N7GHqnCdv

A lot of journos deciding not to go as well.

Going to be a lot of empty stands and hotel rooms in Vegas this January, and Mobile World Congress is probably going the same way. Even @shmoocon is getting some cancellations. https://t.co/1IZa4HSqrH

I’m sorry we’ll miss seeing everyone at CES this year, but we are prioritizing the safety of our team and other attendees.

Heads up! @cnet's #CES2022 coverage will be all remote (to keep our staff and communities safe) and full of peeks at the best of what's to come next year. We've been working on this content for months and can't wait to share it.
