CES 2027 / Las Vegas
Welcome to CES 2027
Next Starts Here
At the dawn of each new year, the global technology and innovation community descends on Las Vegas for CES. The world's biggest companies arrive alongside ambitious startups, investors, executives and media to launch new products, debate big ideas and explore the technologies changing the world at scale.
Across thousands of exhibitors, keynote stages and conference sessions, CES lets you get hands-on with emerging technology, hear from the people building it and see how quickly ideas move from concept to reality.
And while the show floor is enormous, some of the most memorable moments happen around it: in keynote rooms, over coffee, at after-parties and in conversations with people you may never otherwise have met.
For one week only, Las Vegas becomes the centre of the global technology conversation.

Expect the Unexpected
Who will you meet in 2027?
CES week in Vegas has a reputation for taking you places you did not expect to be.
Beyond the exhibition halls, the city fills with private after-parties, brand activations, industry events and guest appearances. Over the years, Cohort delegates have found themselves in rooms with technology leaders such as Jensen Huang and Satya Nadella, as well as founders, investors, executives, artists, celebrities and other unexpected guests.
Our local hosts and event partners will help curate your CES week to include exclusive events, receptions and opportunities as they emerge. We cannot tell you exactly what 2027 will bring yet. What we can tell you is that some of the best moments at CES are the ones you never saw coming.
Previous special appearances have included Robert Downey Jr., Snoop Dogg, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lenny Kravitz, Gwen Stefani, Yann LeCun, Paris Hilton and many more.
CES2027 Delegation Benefits
All Delegate Packages Include:
Your CES Conference Pass gives you access to the main exhibition halls and eligible conference programming across the CES campus, including the new AI Foundry and Robotics Zone.
With thousands of exhibitors spanning AI, robotics, mobility, digital health, immersive technology and much more, CES gives delegates the opportunity to see emerging technology move from concept to something they can experience first-hand.
Beyond the show floor, CES brings together global technology leaders, founders and industry experts to discuss the ideas shaping what comes next.
Your program includes access to eligible keynote presentations, Great Minds sessions and conference workshops throughout the week.
CES is too large to simply arrive and wander.
Before Las Vegas, we will help you identify the technologies, exhibitors and themes most relevant to you, supported by our 2027 Emerging Trends Report.
Before the main CES exhibition opens, the delegation comes together for an informal welcome event.
It is an opportunity to meet fellow delegates, reconnect with returning participants and start building relationships for the week ahead.
At the end of the week, the cohort comes back together for our Delegate Debrief Dinner, hosted by Dheeren Velu of Capgemini.
It is a chance to compare what we have seen, discuss key trends and explore opportunities that may continue beyond CES.
CES week continues long after the exhibition halls close.
Our hosts and partners follow the wider CES event calendar and help the cohort access selected receptions, industry events and after-parties as opportunities are confirmed.
CES international business facilities provide a useful place to step away from the exhibition floor for meetings, workspace and connectivity during the week.
At the start of the week, Cohort will help delegates understand the CES campus, transport, venues and practical logistics.
The team will remain available throughout the week for on-ground support.

CES2026 Delegate
“
CES is completely overwhelming at first. Having the delegation there meant I knew where to go, what to prioritise and which conversations were genuinely worth my time. It made the whole week feel far more productive.
“
This was my third CES, but easily the most valuable. The private events changed the whole experience and led to conversations I would never have accessed on my own. I came home with real opportunities to follow up.
