HANLEY WOOD EXHIBITIONS HOSTS A TRIFECTA OF CONCURRENT LAS VEGAS EVENTS IN FEBRUARY
DALLAS – January 21, 2009 – The building industry will descend on Las Vegas the first week in February when Hanley Wood Exhibitions hosts three concurrent tradeshows — World of Concrete, SURFACES and the International Roofing Expo.
Catering to the commercial construction industry, World of Concrete will be held February 3-6, 2009, and will occupy all space at the Las Vegas Convention Center. This event will draw 70,000 concrete and general contractors, concrete pumpers, dealers/distributors, designers/specifiers, architects, engineers and construction managers, in addition to masonry craftsmen and producers.
Floor covering industry professionals will be over at the Sands Expo & Convention Center for SURFACES, February 3-5, 2009. This event will draw 25,000 retailers, distributors, architects, designers, installers and builders and manufacturers.
The roofing industry will be at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center for the 2009 International Roofing Expo, February 3-5, 2009. More than 8,000 roofing contractors, builders, remodelers, building owners, facility managers, consultants, architects and designers are expected to attend.
“To my knowledge, this is the first time a single exhibitions company will be concurrently hosting events at the three largest convention centers in Las Vegas,” said Michael Green, Executive Vice President of Hanley Wood Exhibitions.
The three shows will encompass a combination of 3 million gross square feet of indoor and outdoor exhibit space with a net square feet of 1.35 million, with 2,700 exhibiting companies and 103,000 total estimated attendance.
To accommodate the onslaught of attendees and exhibitors in Las Vegas for the events, 67 hotels have been contracted by Hanley Wood Housing, using more than 100,000 room nights.
“We didn’t set out to host three events at the same time, but market conditions along with hotel and convention center availability dictated this circumstance,” said Green. “80 out of 100 Hanley Wood employees from the exhibitions division will be in Las Vegas during the week.”
