The Guide also features previews of market programming, including a look at the market’s proprietary FIRST LOOK session, the new Market Pros influencer program and a virtual showhouse and discussions with prominent industry figures. As a bonus, the digital edition includes exhibitor advertisements with hyperlinked contact informa- tion for buyers to easily reach out to make appointments.

Las Vegas Market’s other planning tools include LasVegasMarket.com, with tools like its Market Planner, a category and keywordsearchable Exhibitor Directory and advanced ordering through ShopZio-enabled exhibitors.
