As CES 2026 approaches—January 6-9 at the Las Vegas Convention Center—over 4,000 exhibitors gear up to showcase groundbreaking innovations in AI, robotics, and beyond. But in this high-stakes arena, where 141,000+ attendees flock to the hottest booths, standing out demands more than a sleek display: it requires visuals that capture the buzz before it peaks. That's where Anytime Picture steps in, armed with our official media pass granting on-site access starting January 4. As a certified media partner, we deliver photographer and video production services for CES 2026 that go beyond the show floor—unlocking exclusive pre-event content to supercharge your brand's narrative from day one.
The CES 2026 Landscape: Why Early Access is Your Competitive Secret Weapon
The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) remains the world's premier tech event, drawing innovators, investors, and media from across the globe. Set for January 6-9, 2026, at the Las Vegas Convention Center and surrounding venues, CES 2026 promises expanded programming with new tracks in manufacturing, wearables, and tech standards, alongside keynote sessions from leaders. With exhibitor booths and competition fiercer than ever, the key to maximizing return on investment (ROI) lies not just in attendance, but in content that extends your reach long after the lights dim.
Enter CES Media Days: a two-day prelude on January 4-5 exclusively for registered media. This VIP window offers unparalleled access to product unveilings, private demos, and booth setups before the public floodgates open. For exhibitors, it's a golden opportunity to generate buzz, but only if you have the right team capturing it. As an award-winning photography and videography provider with over 15 years nationwide, Anytime Picture holds an official media pass for CES 2026, positioning us to deliver photographer and video production services that exhibitors can't replicate on their own. Our on-site presence starting January 4 means your brand gets first-mover advantage: think high-res images of pristine setups at dawn, cinematic drone footage of emerging tech, and live-streamed interviews that hit social feeds while the world is still waking up to CES hype.
Research from past events shows that early content can boost pre-show engagement by up to 40%, driving foot traffic and lead generation from the moment announcements drop. Whether you're a startup unveiling AI prototypes or a Fortune 500 giant debuting smart mobility solutions, our media pass ensures your story breaks with polish and precision.
What CES Media Days Means for Exhibitors: Exclusive Access, Amplified Impact
Media Days aren't just a perk for journalists: they're a strategic asset for exhibitors partnering with credentialed providers like us. Starting January 4, our team gains entry to restricted zones, including emerging tech previews and off-floor activations, free from the post-January 6 crowds that can hinder quality shots. This early access aligns perfectly with exhibitor timelines: many booths require final tweaks right up to opening, and our photographers can document those transformative moments in natural light, without the chaos of 100,000+ daily visitors.
Key benefits include:
- Priority Scheduling: Secure slots for custom shoots during low-traffic hours, avoiding the "no photo" signs that exhibitors post mid-show.
- Media Room Perks: Utilize dedicated CES media lounges for on-site editing, ensuring same-day deliverables to fuel your real-time marketing.
- Compliance Edge: As official media, we navigate booth-specific restrictions seamlessly, respecting exhibitor controls while maximizing creative freedom.
For video production at CES 2026, this translates to multi-angle captures of unscripted reveals—think slow-motion pans of robotic arms in action or 4K testimonials from early influencers. Photographers, meanwhile, focus on editorial-style portraits that humanize your team amid the tech spectacle. It's not hyperbole: exhibitors using pre-show content see 25-30% higher social shares, per industry benchmarks from events like this.
