Microsoft will not attend CES 2022 due to COVID-19

It seems that the pillars of CES 2022 are increasingly in danger, as today it has just been confirmed that Microsoft will not attend the CES 2022 by COVID-19.

There are already several companies that will not attend the annual CES 2022 event in person, where companies present their next novelties in the technological and computer field.

It was the company’s spokesperson who communicated the absence via email to The Verge:

After reviewing the latest data on the rapidly evolving COVID environment, Microsoft has decided not to participate in person at CES 2022.

Now that we know that Microsoft will not attend CES 2022 due to COVID-19, let us remember that this will not be the only one, because previously we announced that Intel would also be absent in person, in addition to Google, HyperX, General Motors, Meta, Twitter , Pinterest and iHeartRadio …

Yesterday, the CES organizers insisted that the event would continue anyway, where there will be required vaccination tests, mandatory face masks and free rapid tests.

On the other hand, the Consumer Technology Association, which organizes the event, said that at the moment 42 exhibitors have canceled their attendance.

But that does not mean that there is no CES 2022, since most companies, not being in person, are expected to have a broadcast event where each one will set the day and time.
