Las Vegas – Seeking to reduce conflict with other venues and improve buyer and exhibitor interaction, World Market Center Las Vegas will shift its Winter 2009 Las Vegas Market to Feb. 9-13.

Market officials say the new dates “best align with exhibitor business cycles, relieve industry show conflicts and fall during a period in which Las Vegas hotel rates are more favorable for U.S. and international attendees.”

Pointing to expansion, Market ceo Robert Maricich, noted that the recent January show saw a 60% increase in international buyer attendance. This summer Building C will open, reducing the need for off-site exhibition space for those coming to the July 28-Aug. 1 event.
