SHOW NEWS: Las Vegas, Columbus Shows Expanding Hours

John Wolz

The National Industrial Fastener Show in Columbus, OH, and the West version in Las Vegas will add a half day to the trade shows in 2001.
The Columbus show had traditionally been Tuesday and Wednesday, but last summer show management reduced this year�s show to one day on May 9 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center.
Show promoters said Columbus exhibitors want the Tuesday evening for hospitality and company meetings. The 2001 Columbus show is scheduled May 21-23.
The first four years of the Las Vegas show have been one-day events. The November 8, 2000, show is expected to reach 500 booths and become the largest fastener show. The 2001 show is scheduled for November 14-16 at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas.
