CES 2018 Dates, Schedule: When Is Samsung, Sony Holding Keynote Presentations?

Samsung and Sony are among the companies that will be showing off their upcoming products and new inventions at next week’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2018 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The South Korean firm and the Japanese company will make their presence felt at the largest consumer electronics exhibition by showcasing a slew of new devices to the attendees and the press covering the big event.

Whether you are attending the trade show personally or you’re just going to watch the live stream of the events from the comforts of your home, it is imperative that you know the schedule of Samsung and Sony’s keynote presentations at this year’s CES. The presentations will serve as the highlight of the companies’ showcase, and it is usually during these media-only events when the firms grab the chance to drop some interesting news.

The Galaxy Note 8 manufacturer is set to hold its very important presentation on Jan. 8, Monday, at 2–2:45 p.m. local time. Samsung’s media-only event will take place at Mandalay Bay, Mandalay Bay, Level 2, Mandalay G. There’s no information on what the South Korea giant is planning for its keynote presentation, but it is unlikely to include the unveiling of the highly anticipated Galaxy S9. The new flagship device is believed to be launching at MWC in Barcelona this coming February.

On the contrary, Sony is scheduled to have its presentation at 5–5:45 p.m. local time on the same day. Per the CES website, the Japanese corporation’s venue for its keynote presentation would be Tech East, LVCC, Central Hall, 17300. There’s also no official word on the products that Sony would be launching at the big event, but the firm did say that its President and CEO Kaz Hirai is going to unveil a “new generation of Sony innovations” during its keynote presentation.
