PPB March 2015

THE PPAI EXPO PLAYED another winning hand during

its 14th year in Las Vegas with 11,314 distributors attending

from more than 3,900 companies, and 1,350 exhibiting supplier

companies occupying 3,185 booths—all in one million square

feet of floor space at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center.

The final attendance numbers, released in early February,

continued Expo’s strong performance from 2014. Known

throughout the industry as the largest and longest-running

promotional products trade show, this year’s event drew a total

of 19,582 participants from the U.S. and 38 countries, and

generated an overall non-gaming economic impact estimated at

$26,280,000 by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors

Authority.

The Expo kicks off the year every January providing indus-

try stakeholders a clear vision and direction for 2015, plus

insight into trends in product design, decoration, technology

and the latest in thought leadership.

BE A WINNER!
