Potential CES 2021 Showgoers Split Between Attending in Person or Remotely

Half the readers participating in a poll by technology consultant Shelly Palmer Thursday said it’s “too early to tell” if they will attend CES 2021 “physically or virtually.” Twenty-one percent would go to the Jan. 6-9 Las Vegas and 19% would do so online. Seventy-seven percent back wearing face masks on the show floor. Eighty percent still fear COVID-19 as a health threat, disagreeing with the statement: “I feel safe enough now and do not need to worry about masks or social distancing at a trade show.” CES 2021 is proceeding as planned with masks, social distancing, wider aisles and “options to expand the show digitally" (see 2004210057).
