CES 2024: Dates, ticket prices, and everything else you need to know

CES entry arch with people milling below

CES 2024 is nearly here.

If you're a tech-focused person, get your best walking shoes prepared and your warmer-weather clothes ready for the massive, fun convention in Las Vegas.

The massive tech event creates headlines and debuts new products each year, and we've got all the details you need for the 2024 edition.

What is CES?

First off, in case you didn't know, CES is an acronym for Consumer Electronics Show. And, well, the event is exactly what it sounds like. It's a massive convention in Vegas focused on tech products mostly intended for everyday people. Last year, for instance, some of the highlights included a device that turned Apple devices into high-powered camera monitors, an accessibility-minded gaming controller, and AR glasses.

This year, it seems like TVs could be a big focus, considering TCL has already shown off the prototype for a foldable television.

The convention features thousands of exhibitors, major product launches, and presentations by huge names in tech. In short, it's one of — if not the — biggest events in the tech world.

When is CES?

The 2024 edition of CES is scheduled for Jan. 9-12, with some media-only events in the preceding days. You can find the entire schedule on CES's website.

CES 2024 ticket prices

Here's the tricky part about CES: You have to been an industry member, media member, or exhibitor to attend. It is not open to the general public. How does one prove they're in the industry. CES lists a number of ways, including a business card, proof of employment, your name on a company website, or a recent media article listing you as an industry professional.

Now, once you're allowed in, the cost of tickets vary. Since we've passed the deadline for discounted tickets, they now cost $350 for an exhibits plus pass. That gets you into most of the standard experiences and grants you access to exhibitor booths. A deluxe pass, which costs $1700, adds on extra conference programming, partner programming, and other features.

CES is set to get underway quite soon, so if you want to go, make plans now. But if you cannot make it, be sure to watch out for all of Mashable's on-the-ground coverage.

When the clocks change for Daylight Saving Time, and why we do it at all

The clocks on our smartphones do something bizarre twice a year: One day in the spring, they jump ahead an hour, and our alarms go off an hour sooner. We wake up bleary-eyed and confused until we remember what just happened. Afterward, "Daylight Saving Time" becomes the norm for about eight months (And yes, it's called "Daylight Saving" not "Daylight Savings." I don't make the rules). Then, in the fall, the opposite happens. Our clocks set themselves back an hour, and we wake up refreshed, if a little uneasy.  Mild chaos ensues at both annual clock changes. What feels like an abrupt and drastic lengthening or shortening of the day causes time itself to seem fictional. Babies and dogs demand that their old sleep and feeding habits remain unchanged. And more consequential effects — for better or worse — may be involved as well (more on which in a minute). Changing our clocks is an all-out attack on our perception of time as an immutable law of ...

A speeding black hole is birthing baby stars across light years

Astronomers think they have discovered a supermassive black hole traveling away from its home galaxy at 4 million mph — so fast it's not doing what it's notorious for: sucking light out of the universe. Quite the opposite, possibly. Rather than ripping stars to shreds and swallowing up every morsel, this black hole is believed to be fostering new star formation, leaving a trail of newborn stars stretching 200,000 light-years through space . Pieter van Dokkum, an astronomy professor at Yale University, said as the black hole rams into gas, it seems to trigger a narrow corridor of new stars, where the gas has a chance to cool. How exactly it works, though, isn't known, said van Dokkum, who led research on the phenomenon captured by NASA 's Hubble Space Telescope accidentally. A paper on the findings was published last week in The Astrophysical Journal Letters . “What we’re seeing is the aftermath," he said in a statement . "Like the wake behind a ship, we’r...
