Piana Technology, or “Piana Tech” at http://piana.tech, a 439 year-old Italian company whose motto is “uncommon solutions to common problems”, has come up with what it claims is “an uncommon solution” to the problem of the Omicron variant and CES 2022 Las Vegas attendance. Piana Tech says they’re pulling back CES 2022 staff, setting up a kiosk at North Hall #8319, and it will have a QR code that tracks back to its website landing page.
“We’re picking up the entire booth set and building it in an isolated studio to hold remote meetings with the CEO (minimal staff on site)”, a representative for Piana Technology emailed, “Our floor spot at CES (North Hall #8319) will have a memorable fixture with a QR code directing to our landing page/microsite.”
Piana Technology Joins Growing List Of Firms Going Digital For CES 2022
Piana Technology is now part of a long list of firms, large and small, that have changed from in-person CES 2022 to Digital CES 2022: Amazon, Ring, AMD, AT&T, Casio, Eve, GM, Google, Waymo, HiSense, HP & HyperX, iHeartRadio, Intel, MobilEye, Lenovo, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, OnePlus, Omron, P&G, T-Mobile, Twitter, Facebook, and a number of lesser-known companies like Brunswick Corporation, and other firms that we’ve not seen on an official list of those who switched. The fear is that CES 2022 could become the kind of “super-spreader” event that some claim CES 2020 was for the original, and at the time unknown, coronavirus.
Piana Technology CES Innovations Awards Honoree
This year’s CES 2022 marks their first big step into the world of consumer tech for smart home, medical, and health & wellness. On January 3, Piana will be announcing that they are CES Innovations Awards Honoree for their development of the E/Smart System, a 100% renewable non-woven fiber and process that acts as a foam replacement (and does so much more – i.e. bio sensors, digitally printed molecules, infinitely remoldable, 50% lighter). Their goal is to raise awareness of the hugely toxic environmental impact PU foam has and this platform reduces emissions by 70% comparatively, and bring this tech to every home, car, gym, plane, and hospital.
Stay tuned.
