The heat you’re beginning to feel isn’t just the tease of summer that’s waiting around the corner. That, my friend, is the breath of Las Vegas, summoning us all to the annual “Vegas Market Madness” ritual that takes place this year between Memorial Day and June 4, with no fewer than 8 shows, many running simultaneously, and all working hard to get you to step onto their show floor for a visit.

This year, I invite you to step away from the madness of the busy trade show floor and retreat into a quiet oasis of calm, where a small group of vendors, dedicated to providing you with all the tools you need to help you succeed in business, will be ready and waiting to help you take your business to the next level.

It’s my pleasure to introduce you to the Las Vegas Working Group. We’ve carefully cultivated six, hand-picked industry service providers and created a setting designed to give you the ultimate Vegas Market Week show experience. Our concierge-style event includes lots of amenities designed to make each client/vendor interaction count, and once you’ve experienced our event, you’ll wish every vendor meeting could be this easy and enjoyable. 

So who are these six special vendors, and why is our event at the top of the list of “can’t miss” opportunities during Vegas Market week? Simply put, it’s all about your bottom line. From showcases to custom design services and everything in between, you’ll find the team and the tools you’ll need to raise your profile and your profits in 2018.

Looking for an alternative source on financing that can help you reach a larger customer base?
