BUFFALO, NY (WKBW) — This week's Consumer Electronics Show will be online-only for the first time in its 54-year history.

Exhibitors usually head to Las Vegas to show off the latest trends in tech, but that's not possible this year due to COVID-19.

So the show will go on in what organizers call its new digital venue.

This year's topics seem likely to focus on home automation, health and 5G technology.

The four-day event starts Monday.
