The 2022 will be a full year of tech events not to be missed, between product launches and trade fairs for tech enthusiasts. In this article we make a summary of the most important events to add to the calendar for the next 12 months, both those already fixed and those we are waiting for but do not yet have a date.
The tech events not to be missed in 2022
Starting with CES 2022 Vegas in January, until the latest tech product launches scheduled for December 2022, will be an important year for tech lovers. Some of these events will be worth experiencing in presence (lockdown permitting), others will be exclusively online and many in version hybrid. But all of the ones that we will list in this article will be really interesting to follow.
The best tech fairs and events planned for 2022
Let’s start by listing the conferences and fairs that will see the main tech companies involved. Not always in attendance: we have already discussed how some companies will participate in CES 2022 only in virtual format and probably will also happen during the rest of the year. For a question of opportunity and not just safety: the virtual experiences are increasingly protagonists.
CES 2022
Like every year, the appointment for the Consumer Electronics Show collects some of the most important technological innovations of the year. After last year the fair only had a digital version for the first time, this year it is back in a hybrid version. Some booths will be in Las Vegas, others online only.
Will be held from 5 to 8 January 2022 and we will follow it closely, informing you about all the news.
MWC Barcelona 2022
The Mobile World Congress 2022 will take place from February 28th to March 3rd in Catalonia. The event includes the presence in person of the largest companies that produce smartphones and mobile technology, as well as the press and many fans. Last year the event was held in the summer for safety reasons but for this year a return to the classic slot of the beginning of the year is expected.
The event will be from 28/02 to 03/03 in Barcelona, only in presence (although it often happens that some companies also bring the ads online on their social channels).
E3 2022
Electronic Entertainment Expo 2022 as always, it will be an event dedicated above all to the world of video games, which are a focal point of the world of technology. Not only because more and more people are playing but also because technologies like Virtual Reality and cloud gaming important developments are also proving to be outside the gaming world.
The event will be held in June 2022 and will return live in Los Angeles, although for now the organizers of theESA (Entertainment Software Association) they have not yet announced dates and methods of access.
IFA 2022
The Berlin technology exhibition, IFA 2022, is already collecting exhibitor registrations. After the cancellation in 2021, the fair wants to be back in attendance. A synthesis of the best technology in the world, where several large companies but also small startups present their innovative products.
IFA 2022 will be held in Berlin from 2 to 6 September 2022.
Other fairs and events
In addition to these events, the best known and most followed, there are still many really interesting ones such as:
The most important events organized by companies in the world of technology
In addition to trade shows, which give a general look at the world of technology, in recent years we have always seen more events organized directly by the companies. Many of these are organized directly in streaming, to allow fans from all over the world to participate. And in these cases, the announcement often comes a few weeks or even days before the event. But these are what we expect, although not all of them are already officially confirmed.
Apple
Several unmissable events should arrive from Cupertino in 2022. The event for developers WWDC 2022 will see the presentation of the new operating systems, from macOS a iOS and not only that, in addition to the announcement of many news in the computer field. We then expect another event in September to introduce iPhones.
Less sure but very likely the events of introducing a new one iPhone SE at the beginning of the year and an event dedicated to iPad (and not only) in spring. An event dedicated to the new should also arrive by the end of the year AR viewer of the Apple.
Google is expected to host its annual developer event Google I / O from 18 to 20 May. Last year the event was online and free, while in the past they provided for the payment of a registration fee and organized the sessions a Mountain View. Here we should know the software news (Android, Google Assistant and more).
Also we are expecting an event for Pixel 5A at the beginning of 2022 and the announcement of the new smartphone (and possibly a foldable Pixel) for September / October. But certainly there will be other announcements during the year dedicated to the various hardware products of Google, including its first smartwatch.
Microsoft
The Redmond company has already set multiple appointments for Microsoft Envision. But we also expect the usual events Microsoft Build, Microsoft MVP Global Summit, Microsoft Ignite, where the company will talk about its software products with an eye to the corporate market.
But during the year there should also be gods Surface events in which to present new hardware devices. We expect one in the early fall but Microsoft may also launch others.
Samsung Unpacked
Samsung has now accustomed us to these online events, during which in 2021 it announced both new hardware and software and services (for example the new OS for smartwatches or the BeSpoke line for smartphones). We certainly expect the announcement of Samsung Galaxy S21 FE a gennaio, just after CES for January 11th.
The Korean company should then announce Galaxy S22 from febbraio and march. Then expect at least another couple of Unpacked during the year.
Other events not to be missed
In addition to these companies, which will organize more than one event during the year, there are many other interesting events organized by protagonists of the tech world. In particular:
- Cisco Live, from 7 to 11 February in Amsterdam (and then from 12 to 16 June in Las Vegas in a hybrid version), a key event for the many customers of the company
- Adobe DITAWORLD, from 15 to 17 March online for all those who work in the world of graphics and beyond
- Dell Technologies World
- AWS re: Invent (expected November / December in Las Vegas and online)
And then events for the launch of products by companies such as Huawei, Xiaomi, Lenovo, OnePlus and many others. All events that will be announced during the year and on which we will keep you updated.
As you can see, there are really a lot of appointments: we only talked about the best known and they will arrive for sure. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. During the year we will keep you informed on all the tech events of 2022 not to be missed, following them for you and telling you about them. Keep following us!
