CES 2022 loses Microsoft in Las Vegas over COVID fears

The image is from the image of the stock market.

Microsoft is the latest company to drop a physical presence at the show. A growing number of major companies are abandoning the world's largest technology show.

Microsoft will not be at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, after reviewing the latest data on the rapidly evolving COVID environment. Microsoft prefers to announce event status changes in this way, so the spokesman declined to give their name. The company will have a digital presence for both the Microsoft partner experience and automotive press kit.

Microsoft is the latest company to say it will not attend the technology conference. Amazon, T-Mobile, and the company formerly known as Facebook are just a few of the companies that have pulled out. A new variant of the disease is sweeping through the population in the U.S.

The organizers of the event insisted yesterday that the event would go on regardless, with required proof of vaccinations, masks, and free rapid tests. The Consumer Technology Association said that 42 of the 50 booths have canceled.
