Like every year, 2026 kicks off with the world’s biggest tech expo. CES 2026 officially begins on January 6 and runs through January 9, with the four-day event promising a packed schedule of headline-grabbing keynotes, major press conferences, product demos, and flashy showcases from some of the biggest names in electronics and technology.
As mentioned in our curtain-raisera major focus of CES this year will be on-device AI but home robots and humanoids, smart glasses, smart home devices, display technologies, laptops, and fitness-focused wearables are also expected to have their individual moments in the spotlight.
