“I’m always asked, ‘What’s the theme of the event?’ ” Shapiro said. “I always talk about innovation, but this year I’m going to add a little bit more. This year we have a show with a purpose. We’ve actually partnered with a United Nations affiliate — the World Academy of Arts & Science. We are using this to show how technology can be used to support human securities, or as we like to call them — human rights. It’s like the right to health care, the right to clean air, the right to clean water, and you’ll see this exhibited in the conferences and throughout the show.”
In all, CTA said this year’s show will have 20 country pavilions. Among the new appearances, companies from the Republic of the Congo in Africa and even Ukraine are scheduled to make their CES debut.
The Metaverse theme hammered into the 2022 show will continue to grow in 2023, and this year the the event will be including a look at the emerging field of Web3, with shared and immersive experiences covering new technological advances in block chain and digital assets.

Kelley and senior VP of membership and CES sales Kinsey Fabrizio pointed out that the show has partnered with CoinDesk to create a Web3 Studio to cover some of the latest developments from “influential executives and voices” from the Metavese during the show.
In addition, on January 5th, CES will focus on health care through a keynote panel showing how tech innovation “is totally changing how we take care of patients,” Shapiro said. This will include innovative developments in healthcare leveraging the latest Web3 and blockchain technologies.
