UILDING THE BEST. EXPO. EVER.
It’s not just a tagline to promote the industry’s largest and
longest-running trade show—it’s PPAI’s promise that this show
is designed to help industry professionals build the best busi-
nesses possible.
The PPAI Expo returns January 10-14, 2016 to the spec-
tacular Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas where a
$66 million expansion was completed this fall. The biggest
change show attendees will notice is they will no longer need to
ride the escalator or try to remember on which floor an
exhibitor is located. For the first time in 40 years of Expo history,
all exhibits are on one level in 870,000 square feet.
The trade show kicks off on Tuesday, January 12 with live
music, big prizes and early-bird access at 8 am for all registered
attendees to the four Product Pavilions, including New
Products, Green Products, Made In The USA and Express
Ship. PPAI’s brand. , featuring premium and incentive products,
opens at 9 am in the new Hall F along with supplier booths in
the new Hall E. At 10 am the entire show floor, showcasing
more than 3,200 booths, opens to foot traffic.
From dozens of powerful education sessions to thousands
of new products and promotional ideas, The PPAI Expo has it
all covered. Read on for a glimpse of what’s in store January 10-
14, 2016, in Las Vegas.
