Citing its health protocols and a relatively low number of dropouts thus far. “Given CES’ comprehensive health measures — vaccination requirement, masking and availability of COVID-19 tests — coupled with lower attendance and social distancing measures, we are confident that attendees and exhibitors can have a socially distanced but worthwhile and productive event in Las Vegas, as well as a rewarding experience on our digital access,” the organization notes. In addition to bigger names, a number of startups have announced similar plans, out of concern over omicron.
