From casual furnishings to housewares and gourmet to our new Pavilions – we are showcasing exponential growth from head to toe.”

There’s a new badge procedure for the summer Las Vegas Market that’s designed to be faster, easier and more convenient for market attendees. Moving away from mailing badges, the process has been shifted entirely online. Once participants complete their online registration via www.lasvegasmarket.com/register, they will be issued a QR code. At that point, they have the option to print out the code or simply save it to their smartphone. Once they arrive on campus, the QR code can be scanned at any of the four registration areas – located in building A, B, C and The Pavilions – at several self-service Scan & Go kiosks. Once the code is scanned, a registration agent will give them their market badge along with a plastic holder and lanyard. Please remember to bring proof of identification. 

For more information on the registration process prior to the market, please call 800-748-5065. International attendees and exhibitors can call 508-743-8509. During market, registration agents will be on-site in each building to provide assistance. For additional information, please visit www.lasvegasmarket.com under the registration tab.
