It’s tough to numerically pinpoint which days of CES are which. If you’re in the tech media, Monday’s really the first full day of CES, but you show up on Sunday (or earlier) because there are a few things on Sunday; if you’re a tradesperson, Tuesday’s really the first full day of CES. Actually, Tuesday is the first official day of CES, seeing that the show this year runs from January 7 to January 10. January 7 is the first day the show floor is open.
A lot of stuff happens before the show floor opens, though, and Monday is the first full day that a bunch of stuff is officially scheduled starting first thing in the morning and stretching well into the night. In that spirit, I’ll refer to Sunday as Day Zero and you can wonder why you just read two entire paragraphs worth of nonsense.
