of the available space sold, are driving up the
available space premium, highlighting the
importance of this trade show venue.
The TPE (Tobacco Plus Expo) show
taking place at the Las Vegas Convention
Center January 30-31, 2012 experienced a
similar space “crunch” at the 2012 show and
has contracted for 50 percent more exhibitor
space to accommodate exhibitor demand.
In addition to a great-looking, well-
organized venue, this year’s IPCPR boasted
excellent food choices…Cuban, Mexican,
Italian, and vegetarian, along with the
ubiquitous hot dogs and hamburgers. As
one exhibitor opined, “People gotta eat.
The well-managed food court kept buyers
on the exhibition floor. That made us real
happy.”
Happy exhibitors, happy attendees…
that’s what it’s all about.
