The show’s press conference room is located in Marcello 4401A on Level 4 of the Venetian Congress Center. A schedule of exhibiting company press conferences will be available in the online newsroom. During the show, a schedule will be posted in the press room. Though additional press conferences will be scheduled during the show in exhibitor booths, NSSF keeps a schedule only of those press conferences booked in the show’s press conference room.
The Media Planner is a way for registered and approved media of the 2024 SHOT Show, to access exhibitors’ Digital Press Kits. Through this new online portal, exhibitors’ press materials will be available 365 days a year and will replace the press bins that have traditionally been available on-site in the SHOT Show Press Room. You can access the Digital Press Kits site through your very own Media Planner.
The Media Planner will provide you with the following information:
Once logged in, you can search by exhibitor, category or keyword. You can add exhibitors and products to your Media Planner and come back to access them later. You can also download images, videos and press releases.
You can also access the planner on-site. Kiosks will be set up in the Press Room with technical help standing by for assistance. You will also be able to access the Media Planner after the show at any time.
This smartphone application can help you navigate the show floor and find new products and services, among other helpful uses. Learn more at www.shotmobile.com.
