T-Mobile, AT&T, TikTok and other tech companies are scaling back their CES 2022 plans because of COVID-19 concerns. T-Mobile announced Tuesday that CEO Mike Sievert is no longer scheduled to deliver a keynote presentation either in person or virtually and that the company is planning to « significantly limit » its physical presence at the show. Meta and Twitter, meanwhile, said the same day that they’d decided not to attend in person. On Wednesday, TikTok and AT&T followed, with the social media company announcing that its CES presence will now be a virtual experience and the carrier saying it’s ditching on-site attendance. CES is set to take place during the first week of January, in Las Vegas. T-Mobile said the « vast majority » of its team wouldn’t be heading to Vegas, though the company will remain as a sponsor. « We are prioritizing the safety of our team and other attendees with this decision, » the carrier said in a statement.
