Delta Air Lines is set to make a significant impact at CES 2025 in Las Vegas, marking its 100th anniversary with a range of activities on January 7. Delta CEO Ed Bastian will deliver a keynote address that highlights the airline's legacy of innovation and its future plans for using technology to enhance human experiences.

The event promises more than just a speech. Attendees with tickets can explore an interactive exhibit in Sphere's Atrium before the keynote, enjoy complimentary food and beverages, and experience an exclusive post-keynote performance by multiple GRAMMY Award-winning artist Lenny Kravitz.

Delta CMO Alicia Tillman emphasized the uniqueness of this event: “Delta’s Centennial kickoff at Sphere is a bold statement about our beloved brand and our future vision. This isn’t your typical CES keynote – it’s a chance for attendees to experience the Delta brand like never before through immersive exhibits and an unforgettable show – and for SkyMiles Members, we’ll offer even more exclusive opportunities that we’re fast becoming known for.”
