ISSA Show North America has taken place uninterrupted for over 73 years. Based on informal conversations with exhibitors, attendees and partners, we believe our audience wants to meet-safely-in person this year. Each of you have the power to
SHARE YOUR VOICE and have your say on how, when and where we deliver ISSA Show North America this year. We must have your immediate feedback on a few short questions.
We're thankful for your patience and continuing to stay positive as we continue to forge ahead to bring you a safe, effective and engaging show this fall. Attendee registration opened with registrants coming in from over 33 states and 5 countries in a matter of days.
As promised, we want to provide you with clear and confident next steps in our journey to opening a successful show this fall. We don't want to make our decision without you - our loyal attendee base.
Over the last few months, we've continued to work closely with the City of Chicago following the release of Governor Pritzker's Restore Illinois Plan back in May. As we approach July, the permissions from the state of Illinois and their policies around B2B evens remains restricted.
Multiple states are moving forward with various reopening plans, at very different paces, based on their specific needs. We have made it our priority to stay in constant communication with multiple venues, cities and states to monitor their progress as it relates to trade shows. It has been our initiative to bring you to a city that is ready to embrace and receive your attendance and adequately prepared to follow the best health and safety protocols.
To no surprise, Nevada, has been hyper focused on providing a progressive reopening and safety plan which continues to remain ahead of the curve. Las Vegas - a familiar home to many of our past and future ISSA Show North America events has continued to align with our main initiative of bringing you a safe and successful event this fall.
Similarly, Network Services Company is considering collocating its Supplier Trade Show, which was postponed earlier this year, with ISSA Show North America if there is a move to Las Vegas.
In addition, we have taken the following benefits into consideration:
- Prioritization via Nevada United: Roadmap to Recovery, in reopening inclusive of plans to safely reopen hotels, casinos, restaurants & convention centers.
- Mandalay Bay Convention Center and Hotel will allow a larger than needed footprint to safely and comfortably host meetings, education, the tradeshow floor and networking events, without space constraints.
- Exclusivity of the entire convention center solely for ISSA Show North America
- 8,500+ low cost, high quality hotel room rates and availability, directly connected to Mandalay Bay Convention center, requiring no public transportation or shuttles.
- Mandalay Bay is ensuring the highest standards in cleaning, sanitation and disinfection by pursuing the ISSA GBAC STAR Accreditation.
- Proven, historically successful events with the Las Vegas location.
- Ease of drive-in for our largest attended region, the West Coast.
