Before we know it, CES 2024 will be here, bringing a tonne of people, a ton of new products, and a ton of companies bragging about how AI is enhancing their products to Las Vegas. Though the conference has had its ups and downs recently, it’s gradually turning into a chance for startups to gain visibility while everyone’s attention is focused on the larger budget announcements from companies like Samsung, Sony, and Nvidia.
Throughout the entire event next week at CES 2024, Swagenews will be steady on the net to provide you with updates, with a special emphasis on startups that might very well be the main attraction of their large-scale live stream in a few years.
Aficionados of consumer technology and transportation will have enough to watch on Monday, January 8, beginning at 8 a.m. PT / 11 a.m. ET. As has become customary, many of the most prominent news conferences will be webcast live to the public. The public CES show floor, which opens on January 9 and runs through January 12, will be put up by these events.
Since CES 2024 will be the first time the event is held entirely in the new AI-centric era, AI will be the major theme that unites practically all of the major activities, as you can see from the breakdown below.

CES 2024
Here’s a list of the big-ticket companies hoping to make a big splash before the convention doors open and CES 2024 kicks up for in-person guests on Tuesday. We’ll update this list as the big day approaches and if schedules alter.
Monday: Nvidia (8 a.m. PT / 11 a.m. ET)
CES is moving quickly to make it to one of the major events. Nvidia is excited about the event because of its recent expansion driven by AI. It follows that Nvidia’s emphasis on AI and content production during their CES opening speech is not surprising.
LG (8 a.m. PT / 11 a.m. ET)
LG has already revealed some of the specifics of its new OLED TV lineup, which includes AI processors that the company says would greatly increase visual and audio fidelity over earlier models. LG will also be unveiling its improvements at the same time. In addition, LG will present upgrades at its CES show on home, mobility, and—you guessed it—AI.
ASUS (January 9 at 6:00 PM)
Panasonic (10 a.m. PT / 1:00 p.m. ET)
Panasonic is leading with their energy and climate policies, in a break from the other companies keeping a big focus on AI reveals.
Honda (10:30 a.m. PT / 1:30 p.m. ET)
Honda’s been pretty clear about what to expect from its CES event this year: the reveal of a new EV series, complete with a purple-tinted tease of its form factor. Will that coincide with more details on Honda’s partnership with Sony for the Afeela brand revealed at CES 2023? Time will tell.
Sennheiser (12:30 p.m. PT / 3:30 p.m. ET)
The audio company Sennheiser will have its own CES showcase, with a pretty clear focus, promising new headphone announcements from their live stream, which you can watch below.
Hyundai (1 p.m. PT / 4 p.m. ET)
An update to Hyundai’s Supernal eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicle), which was initially unveiled at CES 2020, appears to be the company’s most noteworthy announcement. Apart from its CES launch, Hyudai is hosting separate events on Tuesday centered only on the eVTOL idea and its intended usage of mobility hubs as real takeoff and landing locations for these flying vehicles. Beyond its upward aspirations, Hyundai will discuss software, sustainability, and of course artificial intelligence in a scheduled but private stream on its YouTube channel.
Samsung (2 p.m. PT / 5 p.m. ET)
You’ll have to wait until January 17th, when Samsung’s next Unpacked presentation begins, if you’re searching for phone news. At CES 2024, Samsung will concentrate on the remainder of its product lines, as they have been doing for several years.
And those products are about to get the AI push, if their press conference title “AI for All: Connectivity in the Age of AI” wasn’t enough of a signal. Samsung has already revealed some AI applications in the kitchen and in its updated robot vacuum lineup, with more expected from its CES event being livestreamed via their newsroom site.
Samsung also put out some additional teases over the weekend for “new generation of products that can be folded inward and outward,” which would include rollable and foldable displays building off of their existing lines of foldable phones.
Sony (5 p.m. PT / 8 p.m. ET)
Witnessing the Ghostbusters logo wearing a VR headset is just the kind of corporate synergy CES is made for. Sony has highlighted the use of its technology within its film and gaming efforts at past CES events, and by focusing on “Powering Creativity with Technology,” that looks to be the same at CES 2024.
Tuesday: Asus (9 a.m. PT/noon ET)
Asus takes the prize for most hyperbolic CES teaser, as it sets out to put viewers “in search of incredible transcendence.” That’s one way of framing the formal reveal of what Asus already showed to be a new dual-screen laptop design.
