Low turnout at in-person CES tech fair - a podcast by BBC World Service

Turnout has been lower than usual at the CES 2022 tech fair in Las Vegas, with attendees able to physically attend after a virtual-only event last year. The BBC’s James Clayton tells us what the mood is like at the event, while attendee Mark Gooday of Ashdown Engineering tells us what his business is getting out of being there. Plus, airlines are still finding themselves having to fly empty or near-empty planes in order to preserve precious landing slots at airports around Europe. Andre Orban of the Belgian website Aviation24 tells us how the government there has responded. Protests in Kazakhstan which began after fuel cost rises, following the scrapping of government price caps, have spread. Dr Diana Kudaibergenova of the Department of Sociology at Cambridge University tells us more about what’s happening. And Allison Levitsky, Workplace Reporter for Protocol, tells us about how Silicon Valley companies are increasingly using T-groups, which offer a modern twist on the traditional business meeting. Throughout the programme we’re joined by journalists Erin Delmore in New York and Sushma Ramachandran in New Delhi.
