Vegas remains top convention spot
Rolling the dice, Vegas won again, while some areas such as Chicago lost out.
Las Vegas maintained its 19% market share of the nation’s 200 major shows, according to Tradeshow Week magazine. It hosted 38 of the top 200 shows.
That’s the same number it hosted in 2003.
Chicago, by comparison, slid to a tie for No. 2 with Orlando. Both had 18 major shows. Chicago a year ago had 27 shows.
Other top 10 convention cities by number of top 200 shows were New York City, New Orleans, Atlanta, Dallas, San Francisco and Anaheim, Calif.
The busiest month for the top shows: March, followed by January. Least favorite month: December.
