NIFS to Publish Exhibitor Training Articles

John Wolz

The National Industrial Fastener Show in May will begin publishing a series of six exhibitor training articles.

Show management reported 428 companies totaling 560 booths are under contract for the November 16-18, 2009, NIFS/West at Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas.

Show manager Susan Hurley described the booth sales as “surprisingly good and very encouraging.” Hurley added that some companies are waiting for first quarter sales before deciding on booth space. “We believe that once the economy begins recovering, fastener inventories will decline and we should see an increase in orders.”

There were 818 booths at the 2008 NIFS/West and a record 829 in 2007.

Show management cited the economy in canceling the 2009 NIFS/East, which had been scheduled for May in Columbus, OH.

The NIFS/West floor plan showing company and booth locations is available on the website: fastenershows.com
