The annual International CES tradeshow broke attendance records in January with an official total of 176,676 attendees. “Other records broken this year, according to the CEA, were more than 3,600 exhibitors, more than 2.23 million net square feet of exhibit space and 6,952 media and analyst attendees,” reports CNET. According to the Computer Electronics Association, which runs CES, next year’s event (January 6-9, 2016) will be capped at 176,000 registrants. This marks the first time CEA has introduced a registration cap for the show. CEA will also establish stricter registration procedures to manage attendance and help ensure a “quality experience.”
