Here are this week’s SHOT Show Insider updates for exhibitors.

Don’t delay booking hotels. With all the shows taking place the same week as the SHOT Show this year, and the recent closures of both Mirage and Tropicana, the city will fill up. Go to the SHOT Show website to book through onPeak.

There are three different print official publications available for advertising onsite at the SHOT Show, and the first of the three – the SHOT Show Tracker – is coming up on its deadlines to participate.

The SHOT Show hosts a series of webinars during the year specifically to help you, the exhibitor.  Webinar recordings are available and more live sessions are coming! Feel free to add to your calendar now so you don’t miss any.

New to the responsibility of coordinating your SHOT Show booth, or tradeshows in general? If you aren’t quite sure of the terms used in the Exhibitor Resource Center (ERC), feel free to reference the Glossary of Terms. We understand some of these items may seem like a foreign language, like “material handling” and “net square feet,” so don’t hesitate to print this out and keep it handy at your desk.

The SHOT Show partners with many companies to produce the show, and likewise there are many people out there willing and able to help. Please reference Show Management Contacts when trying to find the right person to contact. Likewise, use that same contact list to see who is NOT a partner of the SHOT Show and therefore may not be an appropriate person to discuss and contract with for the SHOT Show if they solicit you for providing services at the SHOT Show.

If you have a small booth, like a 10×10 or something of similar size, Freeman offers numerous options for booth designs where everything will be included and ready for stocking as soon as you arrive. These booth designs are extremely helpful if you are a novice at booth design and have limited staff available for setting up. You can find them in the Freeman Store.

If you haven’t heard, there is a little (world famous) theater right next door to the SHOT Show called the Sphere. We are fortunate this year to have the final four shows of the Eagles residency bookend the SHOT Show, with concerts on the Friday and Saturday nights before and after the show (January 17, 18, 24 and 25). If you are looking for a memorable experience this year, don’t wait to buy tickets for these one-of-a-kind concerts. The residency begins next week (September 20), so feel free to follow the Sphere on social media and see what the Eagles have created for this unique venue.

The latest SHOT Show Exhibitor Insider:

Just last week, The Venetian Resort reopened the second level of the conference center with a completely refreshed look, and the SHOT Show team was one of the first to get a preview. Needless to say, that walk down the infamous Venetian Hallway will not be the same come this January, and those exhibiting in the ballrooms on Level 2 will have a completely different color palette and lighting in those rooms. Above is just one picture of what you can expect as The Venetian begins its $1.5 billion transformation.

Read this full Insider edition to get more news about the next Exhibitor Academy webinar, education sponsorships, adjusted exhibit hall hours, scooter rentals, booth vehicle permits, and a solicitors warning.

Here’s what you need to know 5 months out from SHOT Show 2025 …

➢ Attendee registration is set to open during the first week of October.

➢ We’ve adjusted opening hours for exhibit halls this year. To minimize confusion, all exhibit areas will now be opening at 8:30 a.m. each morning of the show (Tuesday to Friday).

➢ Last month, The Venetian Resort reopened the second level of the conference center with a completely refreshed look – a new color palette and lighting. The Venetian will have invested $1.5 billion in the transformation once the project is complete.

➢ Be Wary of Solicitors! Services oftentimes promoted as part of the SHOT Show are hotel rooms, attendee lists, show directories, and booth builds, but please know these companies soliciting you for these services obtained your information through web mining and not from SHOT Show, and they are not affiliated with the SHOT Show unless they are listed on the SHOT Show web properties.

➢ Scooter rental reservations are now available. We’ve partnered with a new company this year to assist with scooter rentals, and reservations are now available. Contact us for assistance.

➢ Reach your target audiences with education sponsorships. Education offerings include SHOT University, a series of retailer-focused business sessions throughout the show, and the Law Enforcement Education Program (LEEP), which consists of hands-on training and sessions for LE attendees.

January might seem far away during the heat of the summer, but when it comes to planning for NSSF’s 2025 SHOT Show, now is the time to start.

Here are some tips, as seen in The Supplier Wire, on what you can do now to ensure a successful event when the SHOT Show doors open in January.

➢ Define Success for Your SHOT Show: Every company has its own definition of a successful trade show. What does a successful SHOT Show look like for your company? Are you looking for sales leads? Media coverage? Orders written? New partners? Meeting with your customers? Now is the time to create realistic goals and to begin planning how you’ll hit those goals.

➢ Learn from the Pros: From now until January, NSSF is offering a series of free live webinars, all aimed at giving exhibitors the information they need to get the most out of the show.

➢ Book Your Travel Early: Be sure to plan travel well in advance for your booth staff. Keep an eye on airfares and secure the best hotel room rates by booking early on the SHOT Show website Hotel & Travel page.

➢ Calendar Your Booth Deadlines: When it comes to your booth needs, make sure to calendar your deadlines and plan early to obtain the best rates available on ordering services for your booth. There are many resources available, including a Deadline Checklist, through the Exhibitor Resource Center.

➢ Invite Your Customers in Advance:
Getting to renew—and create new—relationships is one of the top things that makes SHOT great.
Don’t forget the power of sending an invitation to your customers and prospects to join you at the show. Get resources on the SHOT Show website.

➢ Plan to Bring the Right Staff to Attend Supplier Showcase:
Who manages your supply chain? They should be at the show. Plan to bring along the personnel who make decisions on your supply chain, as well those who can help your business connect to the best suppliers in the industry.
