CES 2026 figures (Attendance Audit Summary) — baseline for the 2027 edition.
Two major events follow one another, five days apart, on the American West Coast: CES in Las Vegas, which celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2027, then the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco, its 45th edition. The first opens up the market, partners and distribution. The second opens up funding. Attending them separately means two trips; attending them back to back costs only one week in your calendar.
Since the EU–US framework agreement of July 2025, European technologies exported to the American market have been subject to customs duties of around 15 to 20% — nearly 20% on many medical devices. The operational consequence is simple: exporting from Europe is no longer enough — you need to be present on the ground in the US, understand the industrial reshoring movement there, and adapt your go-to-market. This is exactly what this programme organises.
You indicate your two priority verticals when registering: they determine the make-up of your track over the three show days.
Schedule of the full package (Combo); packages A and B follow the corresponding sequences.
Welcome of the delegation and opening briefing: show floor plan, American business codes, individual objectives. First guided walk through the Las Vegas Convention Center. Group debrief at the end of the day.
Up to four tracks run simultaneously according to your verticals: health, smart cities, supply chain, mobility, film and entertainment, artificial intelligence. Evening debrief and capture of the first insights.
Free but structured exploration: everyone goes hunting for trends, then reports back to the group — the format that produces the most value per hour spent. Conference Le Jeu de l'oie du CES (The CES Game of the Goose) by Dr Yannick Bardie. Networking dinner for the French-speaking delegation.
Start-ups and national ecosystems at Eureka Park. End-of-show B2B meetings. Closing debrief: what each person takes home, and what they do with it on their return.
Transfer of the delegation. End of the CES-only package. Time to tidy up the contacts made and prepare the meetings for investor week.
Westin St. Francis, Union Square. Reading the investor ecosystem: who funds what, at which stage, using which criteria. Framing the week's meetings.
Qualified meetings in MedTech, BioTech and digital health, on the sidelines of the conference. Pitch coaching and hot debrief.
J.P. Morgan week is as much about what surrounds the conference as the conference itself: side events, receptions, chance encounters. We position you in the middle of it.
Final meetings. Debrief: which funding or partnership leads are genuinely open, and which are not.
Heading down to Palo Alto and Menlo Park: innovation ecosystem, incubators, campuses. Understanding where the decisions that shape your market are made.
A half-day of collective work: turning the raw material brought back into a concrete 90-day action plan. The rest of the day is free.
Delivery, in the following weeks, of your delegation's personalised booklet.
Detailed schedule to be finalised at the end of September 2026, once logistical decisions are made; may be adjusted in line with the organisers' official programme.
The difference between a show visited and a show leveraged comes down to six things. All of them are built into the programme.
Three days of guided show time, with up to four tracks run in parallel according to verticals. Nobody gets lost in 2.5 million square feet.
On all three evenings of CES. This is when what has been seen becomes usable: pooling, comparing interpretations, making trade-offs. It has become participants' most requested feature.
An alternative to the guided tour: you go hunting for trends, identify what produces a “wow” effect, then report it back to the group. You remember what you have had to explain.
Fixed studio and mobile units on site. Interviews, testimonials and short clips, delivered ready to publish on your networks — your presence at CES becomes a communication asset.
A reading of the show by the person who wrote a book about it: how it is built, where the value hides, and the traps that 90% of European visitors fall into.
A document produced in your company's colours, setting out your tracks, your meetings and your learnings. Proof of work you can use internally, with a committee or with an investor.
International return flight · business-class hotel accommodation · airport and inter-site transfers · CES access badge · Las Vegas → San Francisco transfer (Combo package) · delegation networking dinner · on-site assistance throughout the stay.
Not included: meals not mentioned, personal expenses, travel and cancellation insurance (strongly recommended), ESTA authorisation or visa, participation fees for third-party events not in the programme.
The group is deliberately limited. The prices below are indicative per participant, in a single room, departing from Paris.
| Package | Dates | Who it is for | Indicative price |
|---|---|---|---|
| A — CES Las Vegas | 6 – 9 January | Executives, R&D, innovation, product marketing. Understand the American market and identify partners and distributors. | €4,500 – 7,500 |
| B — J.P. Morgan San Francisco | 11 – 14 January | MedTech, BioTech, digital health. Access to the investor ecosystem and fundraising preparation. | €4,500 – 7,000 |
| C — Combo Las Vegas → San Francisco | 6 – 18 January | Companies committed to US development. The market and the funding, in a single trip. | €8,000 – 11,000 |
| D — Youth / Student Format | 6 – 9 January | Students and recent graduates. Learning immersion, same tracks, same debriefs. | On quotation |
The Combo package is highlighted: taken as one trip, it costs noticeably less than the two packages bought separately, and it is the only one that covers both the market and funding. Prices are based on the conditions known as at 28 August 2026; they will be finalised in the named quotation.
Group closure: 30 November 2026, or sooner if all places are filled. After 7 November, neither flight and hotel availability nor the pricing conditions above can be guaranteed — the CES period is the busiest of the year in Las Vegas. Cancellation and place-transfer conditions are detailed in the named quotation and the special terms of sale.
Professional English is helpful but not essential: the support team is French-speaking and the debriefs are held in French.
Yes, and it is often worthwhile: two different tracks run in parallel cover twice as much ground. Terms on quotation.
Packages A and B are independent. A tailored arrangement remains possible as long as the group is not closed.
Yes, it is included and booked by us as soon as the second payment is received — this is one of the reasons for the 7 November deadline.
CEO, Intelligence in Life — author of “Le Jeu de l'oie du CES de Las Vegas” (The Las Vegas CES Game of the Goose)
As head of Intelligence in Life, Yannick Bardie has for several years led French delegations to CES in Las Vegas under the LearnEx Ticket USA banner. A doctor by training, he divides his time between advising executives, higher education and writing. His work focuses on organisational reliability, clinical research and the governance of artificial intelligence — three angles that give CES a rather different reading from that of a gadget show.
He is the author of Le Jeu de l'oie du CES de Las Vegas, an immersion narrative that has become a reading guide to the show: its squares, its shortcuts, its setbacks. The conference drawn from the book is given on site, on the third day — when the group has already seen enough for the reference points to make sense.
“At CES, the problem is never seeing things. It is knowing which ones matter to you — and being able to demonstrate it to your committee when you get back.”

Are you ready for the artificial intelligence revolution? CES 2025 in Las Vegas is much more than a technology show: it is the unmissable event for understanding how artificial intelligence (AI) is redefining economic, organisational and institutional models.
