LAS VEGAS (AP) — CES is not allowing Russian exhibitors to display their products at the annual tech show because of the country’s invasion of Ukraine. A spokesperson for the Consumer Technology Association, the trade group putting together the event, said the move has only impacted one potential exhibitor. The spokesperson says no Russian exhibitors were present at last year’s show, but four attended virtually in 2021. Some Ukrainian tech companies and startups will display their gadgets at the Las Vegas show. Its expected to draw in up to 100,000 attendees by the time it concludes Sunday.
