Each year, CES® brings together the world’s most influential technology leaders to showcase what’s next — and in 2026, global consulting firms are taking a major role in shaping the future of enterprise innovation. Firms like Deloitte, PwC, KPMG, EY, Accenture, McKinsey and Boston Consulting Group aren’t just attending, they’re actively driving the dialogue around transformation, trust and technology.
These top-tier consultancies bring together the people, capabilities and technologies that help their clients gain a competitive edge. CES offers a unique opportunity for them to convene with clients across industries, from media and entertainment to healthcare and consumer tech, in meaningful, hands-on ways. Being able to see, touch and experience what’s happening deepens B2B relationships and opens doors to new ones.
The Consumer Technology Association (CTA)® plays a key role in helping firms maximize their presence at CES, offering year-round engagement to co-create meaningful experiences. Last year, Deloitte hosted more than 20 panel sessions on topics ranging from AI and trust to the future of healthcare, offering thought leadership and actionable insights. Accenture showcased a multifaceted vision for how AI is transforming industries, with CEO Julie Sweet emphasizing trust and responsible innovation in her keynote. PwC focused on sustainable mobility ecosystems, highlighting interconnected transportation networks, energy security, and strategic partnerships. And EY emphasized how organizations can navigate uncertainty and shape the future with confidence through data, technology and innovation.
