1) Before You Leave Home
As a reminder, all CES attendees must be FULLY vaccinated against COVID-19. Only individuals who are vaccinated against COVID-19 will be able to pick up a CES badge and access CES in-person in Las Vegas.
CES also recommends you take a COVID-19 test prior to departing for Las Vegas. International travelers must show a negative COVID-19 test taken no more than 1 day before travel to the U.S. Please check your airline website for details. We highly recommend attendees get a COVID booster vaccine and the flu vaccine, if available.

2) Proof of COVID-19 Vaccination
CES attendees MUST show proof of COVID-19 vaccination to attend CES in Las Vegas. Attendees unable to provide this proof will not receive a CES 2022 badge to access the official show venues.
Detailed information on CES' proof of COVID-19 vaccination process can be found here.
3) Pick up your badge BEFORE entering show facilities
Every attendee, exhibitor and press member must pick up their own CES badge. Attendees will not be able to pick up badges for other attendees.
We recommend attendees arriving at McCarran Airport use the Badge Pickup locations in the airport terminal, located in Terminals 1 and 3 to show their proof of vaccination and obtain their show badge.
CES’ badge pickup locations and hours can be found here.
4) Test Before Entering a CES Venue
CES requests that you test for COVID-19 within the 24 hour period prior to entering a CES venue.
CES will distribute one complimentary Abbott BinaxNOW COVID-19 Antigen Self Test kit, provided by Abbott, to each attendee upon retrieving their badge. Test kits are available at select badge pickup and Customer Service Center locations. If you pick up your badge at a location that does not have test kit distribution, you may proceed to one of the Customer Service Centers to pick up your test kit.
CES recommends attendees use their complimentary Abbott BinaxNOW COVID-19 Self Test within 24 hours prior to entering an official show venue. The test is easy to use, requires only a shallow nasal swab, takes 15 minutes and can be done from the convenience of your hotel room.
