Due to factors beyond our control, the costs associated with putting on a trade show of SHOT’s magnitude have increased (as have the costs of doing most things these days). Also, as you may know, revenue generated from the SHOT Show directly supports all that NSSF does as your industry’s trade association—from advocating on behalf of the industry in Washington, D.C. and in state capitals nationwide to providing compliance education, industry research, firearm safety programs and so much more. Additionally, NSSF’s #GUNVOTE effort needs more funding than ever before to ensure a bright future for our industry.
The SHOT Show is a trade only event. Attendance is RESTRICTED to the shooting, hunting and outdoor trade and commercial buyers and sellers of military, law enforcement and tactical products and services ONLY. The show is not open to the public, and NO one under age 16 shall be admitted (including infants).
The SHOT Show requires individual unique email addresses for attendees, exhibiting personnel and media.
The reasons for this are:
- Using a unique email address will allow each SHOT Show badge holder to utilize and customize the online show planner and the show's mobile app.
- All attendees will be able to receive timely SHOT Show information and communications.
- Finally, the use of unique email addresses will help us in identifying non-qualified attendees.
With your help, we can ensure that all exhibitors and attendees receive all the information they need, are able to utilize the show planner to its fullest and help us in our continued efforts to ensure the SHOT Show remains a trade-only event with qualified attendees and exhibiting personnel.
