“The step was taken as an additional safety measure to the current health protocols that have been put in place for CES,” the event organizer Consumer Technology Association said on Friday.

The event, which is occurring both virtually and in-person, begins on Jan.5 and will have over 2,200 exhibitors.

Other companies including Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD), Proctor & Gamble, Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Inc’s Google, Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) parent Meta Platforms have also decided to drop their in-person plans due to uncertainty over the Omicron variant.
