CES 2025 begins on January 7. The annual Las Vegas event sets the tone for the consumer electronics and automotive industry of the year. As always, TechCrunch will be there, sniffing out stories from the most exciting startups and tech giants.
If you really want a piece of the action without paying for hotel and flight, many of the highlights of the event will be broadcast. While the show officially runs from January 7-10, most of the big news falls early in the show, via in-person press events. These are mainly set for “Press Day” on January 6th.
Usually, the events center around some of the biggest names in technology, including AMD, Nvidia, Samsung, Toyota and Sony. The good news for those who prefer to avoid mingling among the 140,000 international attendees is that all major press conferences and keynotes will be streamed live, either via the companies’ press pages or CES itself.
Here’s how to fit in with the big ones, and you can head here for our early preview of what else to expect from this year’s CES.
January 6 at 11am PT/2pm ET
The company should show off its next-generation GPU. As part of an ongoing rebranding, the RDNA 4 cards may come as either the RX 8000 or RX 9000 series.
January 6th at 4pm PT/7pm ET
Toyota has already announced that it will provide an update on its Woven City initiative during its presentation at CES, an ambitious effort that first appeared in 2020. You can watch the broadcast as posted here.
January 6th at 2pm PT/5pm ET
Samsung’s CES presser is always an odd duck. The Korean electronics giant generally keeps its dust dry when it comes to consumer electronics. After all, it is expected to introduce its latest flagship phone – the Galaxy S25 – at the end of January.
CES 2025 will continue the company’s tradition of televisions and appliances. There are also odds and ends like consumer bots that will most likely never see the light of day. Samsung has adopted the tagline “AI for everyone: Every day, everywhere” for the launch, which begins on January 6 at 2pm PT/5pm ET.
January 6th at 5pm PT/8pm ET
Sony, no stranger to big CES press day events, has already shown off two reveals ahead of this year’s event: the SRH-S1 augmented reality headset and additions to its Bravia home theater lineup. And you can watch the rest of their broadcast here or via the embed below.
January 6 at 6:30pm PT/9:30pm ET
Nvidia will undoubtedly have the biggest CES 2025. After all, the company has almost everything bigger these days. The chip giant has a $3.4+ trillion market cap, largely due to its fundamental position in the ongoing AI boom. Companies like OpenAI and Meta have been buying Nvidia processors by the load, and that’s unlikely to change in the new year.
Founder and CEO Jensen Huang will help kick off CES 2025 “with his trademark leather jacket and unwavering vision,” according to Nvidia.
