Lenovo and Sphere Entertainment Co have announced that, for the first time ever, Lenovo’s annual global innovation event, Tech World will take centre stage at Sphere in Las Vegas on the opening day of CES 2026. The 11th annual Tech World will feature Lenovo Chairman and CEO Yuanqing Yang’s CES keynote along with Lenovo’s latest product launches, innovations, proofs of concept, and the company’s AI-driven innovation strategy for the coming years.
The event at Sphere, which will showcase content created exclusively for Lenovo by Sphere Studios, Sphere’s in-house immersive content studio, marks the second consecutive year that a CES keynote will be delivered at the cutting-edge venue. Tech World comes as Lenovo and Sphere enter a multi-year global partnership, making Lenovo an ‘Official Technology Partner’ of Sphere Studios.
“Over the past decade, Tech World has become Lenovo’s key platform to reveal our vision, showcase our innovation, and launch our most exciting products, solutions, and partnerships,” said Yuanqing Yang, chairman and CEO at Lenovo. “Now, set against the backdrop of CES 2026, we’ll give the audience an exclusive look at how our technology has revolutionised F1, unveil our plans for the first-ever AI-powered FIFA World Cup next summer, and create a hyper-personalised agent-native experience for individuals while unleashing Lenovo Hybrid AI Advantage for enterprise customers. Sphere is the perfect match for Lenovo in Las Vegas, where we will celebrate and share our commitment to delivering smarter AI for all by constantly redefining how technology can engage, inspire, and empower.”
Jennifer Koester, president and COO, Sphere, added: “As a venue at the forefront of innovation, Sphere is a powerful platform for visionary brands looking to create transformative events and experiences. We are honoured to collaborate with Lenovo not only to help bring their vision to life during this CES Keynote, but also as part of our broader partnership that will leverage Lenovo technology to deliver immersive experiences across all Sphere events.”
‘Tech World @ CES’ will explore how Lenovo is defining the future through the fusion of AI, devices, infrastructure, and services. Lenovo is a global technology partner for Formula 1 and the FIFA World Cup 26 and the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2027, and the event will explore not only how Lenovo innovation can help individuals and businesses, but also how the company plans to use AI and its full portfolio of technologies to change the game for sports fans in the years to come.
In addition to the keynote, Tech World @ CES will include visionary tech leaders, partners, artists, and influencers, with an accompanying spectacle that is only possible at Sphere. Additional announcements on the speaker and guest lineup will be made later in 2025.
Lenovo’s CES 2026 keynote at Sphere will take place on Tuesday, January 6 at 1700 PT. Yuanqing Yang’s keynote is open to credentialed CES attendees, with further ticketing and logistics details available in October.
