Direct your EAC to the Exhibitor Appointed Contractors (EAC) section in the Exhibitor Resource Center and make sure they submit the EAC Agreement & Application.

Spotlight Innovation in the New Product Center
Don’t miss your chance to feature your latest products in one of the most-visited destinations at SHOT Show, the New Product Center. If you’ve already purchased a display opportunity, be sure to upload your product photos and descriptions as soon as possible to ensure inclusion in the printed New Product Directory. And for all new exhibitors, remember that your package includes one complimentary new product entry, so be sure to take advantage of this valuable exposure! To purchase or complete any listings, be sure to log in to your Exhibitor Dashboard and you will see the New Product Listings linked there. Questions, contact Angel Valentine at avalentine@convexx.com. — Angel Valentine, ConvExx
Be Aware of Unauthorized Solicitors, including “Show Dailies”
As a reminder, several outside companies may contact exhibitors implying affiliation with the SHOT Show. One example is Source Group and its publication Outdoor Industry News, which is not affiliated with the SHOT Show and is not permitted to distribute its publication inside The Venetian Resort, Venetian Expo, Caesars Forum or any official SHOT Show hotel. The only official SHOT Show publications distributed on show grounds are SHOT Daily, the SHOT Show Tracker, the New Product Center Guide and the Official Directory & Buyers’ Guide. Please remain vigilant when evaluating marketing or advertising solicitations and refer to the list of official partners in the Exhibitor Resource Center if you have any doubts. We’re always here to answer questions or confirm legitimacy. — Chris Tatulli, NSSF
