If you missed any personal tech events in 2020 and 2021, here’s some good news: It looks promising that many conferences will return to near-normality in 2022.
2020 was a wash for many tech conferences, and events in 2021 have been largely online as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to shatter schedules around the world. As we move towards 2022, many events that were canceled or held online only are planning a major in-person comeback, including CES†
It’s still early days, so expect much of this list to be updated in the coming months as events are added, removed, or rescheduled. It is also important to note that many of these events are not yet open for registration. And if a month isn’t in the list, it’s not missing either – there are just no events scheduled for that period yet.
With any luck, we’ll be back in less than a year for personal trade shows, professional seminars and industry meetings.
