Delta Air Lines is set to celebrate its 100-year anniversary with a unique keynote event at the Sphere in Las Vegas, hosted by CEO Ed Bastian. Scheduled for January 7, 2025, the presentation will reflect on Delta's century-long legacy of innovation and explore future technological advancements aimed at enhancing human experiences.

"Technology is a powerful tool, but it’s people that make true innovation possible," said Bastian. "We’re on the brink of a new era, and I can’t think of a better way to demonstrate how the Delta team will leverage cutting-edge advancements to propel our next century of flight."

This marks Delta's third participation at CES and its second mainstage keynote following Bastian's previous groundbreaking appearance as an airline speaker. In 2023, Delta announced fleet-wide benefits for SkyMiles Members during CES.
