World Trade Center Las Vegas Gets Back to Business

Apr 01, 2021

The Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC), which is also the World Trade Center Las Vegas (WTCLV), announced in March that it is ready to get back to business with the recent approval of several larger shows. Informa Markets’ World of Concrete (WOC) set for June 8-10, 2021 will mark the debut of the LVCC/WTCLV’s new 1.4 million-square-foot West Hall expansion and the innovative Convention Center Loop.

In addition to debuting the West Hall, WOC also represents the first large-scale trade show to return to the U.S. market since the pandemic brought in-person meetings to a halt. In March, Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak increased large gatherings capacity to 50 percent, allowing for the return of larger shows, and also recently expanded vaccine eligibility to all hospitality and food service workers in order to serve our guests safely, and as of April 5, all Nevadans aged 16 and older qualify. Las Vegas’ hospitality workers are essential, as the backbone of our economy and our community.

Informa Markets creates platforms for a wide range of industries to connect, innovate and do business. As industries and economies around the world look for opportunities to recover in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, exhibitions provide the ideal platform to rebuild communities and revive local economies. In addition to WOC, Informa Markets will also host the following trade shows in Las Vegas, with plans to return other keystone events throughout the rest of the year.

• Vegas Cosmetic Surgery (June 2021)
• The International Surface Event (June 2021)
• WasteExpo (June 2021)
• The Aesthetic Show (July 2021)
• Inside Self Storage World Expo (July 2021)
• MAGIC Fall (August 2021)
• International Roofing Expo (August 2021)
• Licensing Expo (August 2021)
• SupplySide West & Food Ingredients North America (October 2021)
• International Sanitary Supply Association Expo Show North America (November 2021)

In addition to Informa Markets’ shows, a number of other shows have confirmed their return to the WTCLV/LVCC, including Mecum Auctions, April 28 – May 1, Tobacco Plus Expo 2021, May 12-14, and the Nightclub & Bar Show, June 28 – 30, among others.

In preparation for the return of business, the LVCC/WTCLV has earned Global Biorisk Advisory Council (GBAC) STAR facility accreditation by ISSA, the world’s leading trade association for the cleaning industry.
