Three CES keynotes, two venues: what is actually announced?
The official announcements place three keynote blocks on January 6. Two share a ballroom; the third moves to Sphere. The releases give a useful sequence, but leave important access and timing questions open.

Pacific Standard Time. The 8:30 block starts with the CTA address; Filosa follows. Session lengths and travel time are unspecified. Spacing shows sequence, not duration.
What changes a reader’s plan
Stellantis follows the CTA address in the morning. Waymo is scheduled for the same ballroom in the afternoon. Lenovo moves the evening event to Sphere. That venue change means an attendee considering all three needs to check transport and admission separately; this dataset does not estimate transfer times.
The 8:30 a.m. time belongs to the opening CTA address block. Treating it as Filosa’s exact speaking time would overstate the source. Likewise, a listed booth is evidence of an announced show-floor presence, rather than a booked demonstration.
What the documents leave open
- Stellantis: Filosa’s separate start, session duration and demo appointments.
- Waymo: session duration and booth appointment arrangements. Safety and expansion are announced discussion topics.
- Lenovo: ticketing and other logistics. The release restricts attendance to credentialed CES attendees, without establishing that a badge guarantees admission.
The future product and safety promises in these announcements are organizer and company claims. This comparison does not test vehicle safety, AI performance or a product that has yet to be demonstrated.
Method and artifacts
We compared three official CTA releases, dated September 8, September 21 and October 7, 2026. We transcribed speaker, date, time, venue, booth and access details into a versioned dataset, keeping unspecified fields empty. An automated presence check then fetched the document bodies, normalized whitespace and checked 17 explicit text fields. All 17 matched at retrieval.
The verification artifact records retrieval times, source URLs and SHA-256 hashes of the normalized documents. The diagram is generated from the same dataset as the planner. Its spacing represents order rather than duration. The review is a snapshot of these three announcements, not a complete CES schedule or an independent corroboration of their claims.
To repeat: download the dataset and script into one folder, install cheerio, then run node verify-ces-planner.mjs ces-2027-planning.json. A changed field or unavailable source fails the check and needs a fresh review.
