URBAN NEWS ALERT
LAS VEGAS SOUVENIR & RESORT GIFT SHOW DATES CHANGE FOR 2015 EDITION: SEPTEMBER 16-19, 2015
National Souvenir Show Returns To Original Date Pattern In
Response To Buyer, Vendor Feedback
ATLANTA (October 27, 2014 ) - Feedback from retailers and vendors, coupled with a venue scheduling opportunity, have led to a decision by Urban Expositions to shift the dates of the 2015 edition of its Las Vegas Souvenir & Resort Gift Show to September 16-19. A couple of weeks earlier than the previously announced schedule, the nation’s largest souvenir and resort show now returns to its established date pattern -- bringing 1200+ booths to the Las Vegas Convention Center’s Central Hall filled with resources ranging from destination, resort and tourist merchandise, name drop and custom designs, apparel, giftware, jewelry/fashion and more.
“Many of the show’s retailers and vendors let us know that this established pattern worked especially well for their business and scheduling needs,” said Doug Miller, president, Urban Expositions. “But these dates were not initially available at Las Vegas Convention Center for 2015. When we got word from the Center about some changes that opened up this week for us, we took it. These dates bring us back to a pattern that has historically worked well for the majority of our customers, including those retailers and vendors who need time to place and fulfill large custom orders.”
In addition to this date change, Urban also announces the Fall 2015 schedule for its other souvenir and resort industry shows:
