Step 1. Pick Your Pass

There are two pass options for CES. Finding the right one for you is as simple as thinking about how you want to spend your time. 

1. Exhibits Plus Pass

Walking onto the CES show floor feels like stepping into the future. With the Exhibits Plus Pass, you’ll see all the latest (and yet-to-be-released) solutions transforming industries, businesses, and the way we live — up close and in action. You’ll also have access to the Great Minds sessions and inspiring insights during this year’s keynotes.

2. Deluxe Conference Pass

With more than 100 sessions organized into curated tracks, you can easily enhance your knowledge on the topics that matter to you at CES. Take advantage of this opportunity to learn from visionary leaders (many of whom you won’t see anywhere else) with the Deluxe Conference Pass, and you’ll walk away knowing what’s next in tech.

Everything in the Exhibits Plus Pass is also included.

CES Insider Tip

You can add individual conference tracks to your Exhibits Plus Pass registration, which is a great option if you’re interested in a particular topic. If three or more tracks appeal to you, the Deluxe Conference Pass is a better (and more economical) way to go.

Step 2. Get Ready to Register

Now that you’ve decided which pass you prefer, make it yours! Since CES is not open to the general public, you must show your affiliation with the consumer technology industry by providing current industry or media credentials during the online registration process. Make sure you have the following information ready when you start registration:

  1. Proof of Industry Affiliation
  2. Photo Identification
  3. Date of Birth

Step 3. Choose Your Upgrades

Add some little extras that make a big impact on how you experience CES. 

  • Show Floor Tours

  • CES 2025 Trends Report

    The CES 2025 Trends Report is a vital resource for the tech community and tech enthusiasts. Pre-order your copy to find out which trends you and your team should watch in 2025 (and what you might want to see on-site). 

  • Pivot or Die

    Coming October 8, the new book from New York Times bestselling author and CEO of the Consumer Technology Association (CTA)® Gary Shapiro offers a behind-the-scenes look at the development of innovative technology and business strategies. 

  • Monorail Pass

    CES attendees receive discounted rates on passes for the Las Vegas Monorail, a convenient way to navigate the CES campus and the Strip. 

CES Insider Tip

These extras can be added to your registration at any time before the show. Just log back in to your CES Account using the email you registered with to select an add-on.

Step 4. Plan Now and Save

Secure your airfare and hotel room early, before prices increase and accommodations sell out. Book through an official CES housing partner to receive exclusive, discounted rates. 

CES Insider Tip

Make the most of your CES experience by downloading the CES 2025 Mobile App before the show. The official show app has everything you need to plan for and navigate the show. Available this fall.

Step 5. Stay in the Know

You don’t have to wait for CES to hear important tech updates. Listen (and subscribe) to the official podcast, CES Tech Talk, to make sure you don’t miss out on in-depth interviews, groundbreaking innovations and the NEW trend series launching in December, right before CES. You’ll arrive on-site with a clearer picture of what’s happening in the industry, and what you want to see and do.
