CES 2025: An Exciting Start to the Tech Year
CES 2025 officially kicks off on January 7, but the excitement begins early with a flurry of live streams and press conferences starting today. This annual Las Vegas event is a pivotal moment for the consumer electronics and automotive industries, setting the tone for the year ahead. TechCrunch will be on the ground, uncovering stories from both innovative startups and established tech giants, and you can follow all the action through our live coverage.
If you’re eager to experience CES without the travel expenses, you’re in luck. Many major keynotes will be streamed online. While the exhibition runs from January 7-10, much of the buzz happens beforehand during in-person press events, particularly on January 6, also known as “Press Day.”
This year, expect insights from tech leaders like AMD, Nvidia, Samsung, Toyota, and Sony. For those who’d rather avoid mingling with over 140,000 international attendees, all key press conferences will be available via livestreams through company websites or CES directly.
“Toyota will update us on its ambitious Woven City initiative during its CES presentation. The project was first introduced in 2020 and continues to capture interest.”

Samsung’s presentation is always intriguing. While they typically reserve their major consumer electronics announcements for later — like the anticipated Galaxy S25 reveal — CES remains a platform for showcasing their latest TVs and appliances. This year’s theme is “AI for All: Everyday, Everywhere,” with their presentation scheduled for January 6 at 2 p.m. PT/5 p.m. ET.
Sony has already teased us with two exciting reveals: the SRH-S1 extended reality headset and new Bravia home theater additions. You can catch their full presentation here or via our embedded stream below.
“Nvidia is expected to steal the show at CES 2025. With a market cap exceeding $3.4 trillion, largely due to its critical role in AI advancement, Nvidia continues to be a leader in tech innovation.”
