The president's daughter is to appear on stage with senior business leaders to give a talk about the future of work.
Mr Shapiro told the BBC he did not regret Ms Trump's invitation, and described her as"a business leader and entrepreneur [who] is an advocate for creating family-sustaining jobs".
"CES has consistently proven to be one of the most influential technology events in the world," Ms Trump said. "I am excited to join this year for a substantive discussion on the how the government is working with private sector leaders to ensure American students and workers are equipped to thrive in the modern, digital economy," she added.Last year CES caused controversy by stripping a sex tech business of its innovation award on the grounds its sex toy could be considered"immoral, obscene, indecent, profane".
Lora Haddock, the chief executive of the company Lora DiCarlo, accused CES of gender bias after they retracted the prize, noting sex dolls marketed to men featured on the exhibition floor, as did a virtual reality pornography company.
