NIFS/West Registration Up 5.8% to 5,154; Just Missing 1998 Columbus Record by 72
John Wolz
Show management reported overall registration totaled 5,154 for the 2006 National Industrial Fastener Show/West and all 640 available booths were filled.
Registration was up 5.8% from 4,873 in 2005 in Las Vegas, but missed the NIFS record of 5,226 in 1998 in Columbus. OH.
Show management rearranged space for more booths this year after all 621 were sold out in 2005.
The show will move to the larger Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas for 2007. With a waiting list for booths, NIFS/West would likely have topped the 653 NIFS booth record set in Columbus in 1996 if the show had been moved this year.
Show management has not yet announced the total number of distributors registering for 2006.
Actual attendance is not known as NIFS figures include advance and onsite registration. NIFS management does not use a verified attendance system and the show is not audited by an independent trade show quality assurance system.
The next NIFS/East will be May 22-23, 2007, in Atlanta and West will be November 12-14, 2007, in Las Vegas. For information contact show manager Susan Hurley. Tel: 614 895-1279 Fax 614 895-3466 E-mail: info@fastenershows.com Web: fastenershows.com �2006 FastenerNews.com
