You haven't lived till you've seen the Main Street Electrical Parade! Go!Someone can’t tell whether a major news-worthy convention is doing well unless they’ve been there personally? I’ve never been to Disney Land but I could plan a great trip there for you...

I'm sure his parents were quite proud to show off that book to their friends

Small, local businesses here in the islands continue to take a beating. Lots of the otherwise-subservient locals are starting to get restless.

I've been out of the loop on this, how do they plan to isolate people who have been exposed?

So, the fact that it’s news-worthy might suggest that it’s neither tired or dying.
But yeah, I think that it’s a fair statement that an attendee of a convention is in a better place to assess how well the convention is doing than someone who is basing an opinion on any stories.
Frankly, I imagine that there are two very different perspectives of what CES is... differing between those who have been there and those who haven’t. What those of you who haven’t been there see is really only a small portion of the convention. We all see the robots walking around on their own, self driving cars... all the sexy technology that makes the headlines. For those of us who attend / attended see a much different view. Here’s an example of just the recorded sessions for viewing: https://www.ces.tech/Videos/2020/Watch-CES-2020-Conference-Sessions.aspx. It’s very different than what you’ve been lead to believe it to be. Most of us who go to CES never even bother to go to the convention center... and to see the stuff that you all see? You pretty much have to be invited to that stuff.
For everyone of those videos, there’s probably 20 more sessions that you can’t watch from home. And most of those that you can’t watch are the ones that are most valuable for practitioners.
To use your example of Disney, imagine trying to plan a great trip there if everything that YOU know about Disney is really only about 10% of what one could do while there.
So, to be honest, no. I don’t think that you could do a good job of planning my conference at CES, even if I told you what tracks I was interested in, without having been there... let alone assess the quality of the convention.
I go to multiple conventions, trade shows and similar a year. Gartner, Forrester, CES and many others. Many of them are a complete waste of time for anything other than rubbing elbows. A number of them are pure garbage and boondoggles. CES falls in neither category. And while I may only be one person writing this now, Vegas is at maximum capacity every year for this show. There’s clearly a couple hundred thousand people who seem to agree with me to some extent.
