Quick Read

An independent count of the official CES 2027 exhibitor directory found 2,841 companies on Oct. 27, up from 2,021 in late September.
Artificial intelligence passed smart home as the most-chosen category, with 567 exhibitors tagging it.
U.S. companies lead China 947 to 900, with South Korea a clear third at 391.
Oregon names on the list include Salem's Agility Robotics, Hillsboro-based Lattice Semiconductor and Intel, the Hillsboro area's biggest employer.

CES 2027 opens in Las Vegas in 68 days, and the guest list is filling in. The official CES exhibitor directory, which the Consumer Technology Association updates as companies sign on, already runs to thousands of names, and a few of them have Willamette Valley roots.

We went through the latest list, dated Oct. 30, and an independent analysis of it to see who is coming, what they are bringing, and which Oregon companies will be there.

The list by the numbers

ExpoSheet, a company that turns trade show directories into spreadsheets and is not affiliated with CTA, parsed the directory on Oct. 27 and counted 2,841 registered exhibitors. That is 820 more than it found in late September, and CES will keep adding companies until the show opens.

By country: the U.S. has 947 exhibitors and China has 900. South Korea is third with 391, followed by Taiwan with 116 and Hong Kong with 87. Companies come from 45 countries in all.
By category: AI is now the top pick, with 567 exhibitors, ahead of smart home and appliances at 473 and IoT and sensors at 428. In September, smart home led AI 403 to 376.
Two different shows: about 41.6% of Chinese exhibitors come from Shenzhen and 38.9% of U.S. exhibitors from California. Chinese companies lean toward accessories and smart home gear, while 21.4% of U.S. exhibitors list vehicle tech, compared with 5.8% of Chinese exhibitors.
By building: 1,241 exhibitors are in Las Vegas Convention Center halls and 985 are at the Venetian, with the rest in hotel suites or not yet assigned.

ExpoSheet's takeaway is that AI at CES is no longer just software. The AI exhibitors most often also list IoT and sensors, robotics and vehicle tech, which means the AI on display will mostly be built into robots, cars and appliances.

The Oregon names on the list

We searched the official directory for companies with Oregon ties. Here's who is signed up as of Oct. 30, according to the CES exhibitor list.

Agility Robotics, Salem. The maker of the Digit humanoid robot is listed at booth 10502, plus hospitality suites at the Venetian's Palazzo tower. In our Oct. 23 CES story, Agility was among the robot makers named as likely to show off more humanlike robot hands.

Lattice Semiconductor, Hillsboro. The low-power chip company, headquartered on NE Moore Court in Hillsboro according to Lattice, is listed in Suite 29-212. Lattice makes FPGAs, a kind of chip that can be reprogrammed after it ships.

Intel. Intel is based in California, but it says its Hillsboro campuses are where it builds its most advanced chips, and it employs about 16,000 people in the Hillsboro area, according to a Good Jobs First report we covered this week. Rather than a single floor booth, the directory lists Intel in a long block of named meeting rooms at the Venetian.

Wacom, with a Portland-area history. Wacom Technology Corp., the U.S. arm of the Japanese pen tablet maker, is listed in the Fontainebleau hospitality suites. Wacom closed its Pearl District headquarters in Portland in 2024 and went remote-first, but kept a small office and warehouse in Vancouver, Wash., where it opened its first U.S. office in 1989, The Oregonian reported.

The list shows names and booths, not each company's plans, so we don't yet know what any of them will show. We'll keep an eye out as announcements roll in.

New names this month

A few exhibitors have already started talking about what they will bring:

Humanoid robots: Realbotix said Oct. 20 it will return with its humanoid robots, AI vision systems and a new Echo product line at North Hall booth 12734, according to its announcement.
3D without glasses: Visual Semiconductor and INCERGO said Oct. 27 they will show what they call glasses-free 3D on TVs, monitors, laptops, tablets and phones at Central Hall booth 24539, according to their announcement.
Chinese automakers: Geely and XPeng are on the mobility list, 36Kr reported. XPeng did not take part in CES 2026. Geely is listed at booth 5901.
Lenovo's keynote goes online: Lenovo said Friday that its Tech World keynote at Sphere on Jan. 6 at 5 p.m. PT will also stream live worldwide, with more speakers and details to come, according to Lenovo.

How to use the list

You don't need a badge to look. The directory is free on CES.tech, and the full list downloads as a PDF with each company's booth or suite. A few tips if you are planning a trip or just following along:

Group by building. The Convention Center and the Venetian are separate campuses, so ExpoSheet suggests planning each day around one of them.
Watch Nov. 9. CTA names the CES Innovation Awards 2027 honorees that day, which is a good early look at specific products, according to the awards timeline.
Mind Nov. 30. CES is trade-only, for people 18 and older in the tech industry. A Standard Pass is $149 through Nov. 30 and $349 from Dec. 1, according to CES pricing.

Gear for a long show day

CES means a lot of walking and a phone that never stops working. Anker, which is on the exhibitor list, makes the Anker 10,000mAh 30W power bank, a pocket-size USB-C charger for keeping a phone alive between halls. And if Wacom's suite has you curious about pen tablets, the Wacom Intuos Small is a small, wired drawing tablet with a pen that works with Windows and Mac computers.
