CES in Las Vegas that takes place January 9-12, 2018 is still scheduled to happen despite of the mass shooting that recently took place October 1st. CES staff will continue to monitor the situation and the CES conference plus they will continue to work in close cooperation with law enforcement officials at all levels to maximize security on-site at CES. There are some new regulations attending CES and also new updates recently announced. See below on the latest CES 2018 information and news.
