CES Up to the Minute
If you missed the advance registration deadline, don’t worry – you can register on-site at the Las Vegas Convention and World Trade Center (LVCC). See on-site registration dates, locations and times.
Already received your badge in the mail? That’s great. In addition, each registrant who receives a badge by mail will need to go to a badge holder pickup location on-site to get their official 2012 International CES badge holder. Admittance without a badge holder is not permitted. International CES is a trade-only show and is not open to the general public. Therefore, we must ensure all attendees are industry affiliates before issuing a badge holder. After the show, CES performs an official attendance audit through an outside auditing firm, and the on-site badge holder pickup process serves as a method for counting attendance.
Two forms of identification are required to pick up your badge holder:
One personal picture ID such as a driver's license or passport.
One business ID such as a business card, pay stub or statement on company letterhead indicating that you are representing that company at International CES.
See badge holder pickup locations.
