How We Selected These Shows
These shows were selected for their industry relevance, buyer audiences and exhibiting opportunities. “Top” describes this editorial selection, not an official ranking by attendance or floor space.
The calendar lists exhibit-floor dates rather than full conference schedules. Where education or other activities run on additional days, those differences appear in the show details. Confirm the current organizer schedule before booking.

Explore the 20 Selected Shows
1. CES
Exhibit dates: January 6–9, 2027
Location: Las Vegas Convention Center and other official CES venues, Las Vegas, NV
CES suits companies introducing consumer technology, connected devices and products that benefit from a working demonstration. Its audience supports retail, distribution, partnership and media conversations, so exhibitors need a clear priority before choosing their presentation. A product launch may require different staff and equipment from a distributor meeting. CES operates across several venues, making the assigned location important to both visitor access and appointment planning. Check where your category is represented before finalizing the exhibit brief.
2. The PPAI Expo
Exhibit dates: January 12–14, 2027
Location: Mandalay Bay Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV
The PPAI Expo connects promotional product suppliers with distributors sourcing merchandise for client campaigns. Apparel, drinkware, bags and branded accessories fit this purchasing channel when buyers can compare decoration options, order quantities, production timing and pricing. Group samples by application so a distributor can quickly identify products for a particular customer or campaign. PPAI Advance takes place on January 11, before the exhibit floor opens. Teams attending education as well as exhibiting should account for that additional day.

3. World of Concrete
Exhibit dates: January 19–21, 2027
Location: Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV
World of Concrete serves suppliers of equipment, tools, materials and systems used in commercial concrete and masonry work. Contractors need to understand what a product does on the jobsite, including its output, handling and maintenance requirements. Demonstrations and accessible equipment displays can help answer those questions. Confirm whether the assigned space is indoors or outdoors before developing the presentation. Education runs January 18–21, while exhibits open January 19–21, so the full program and floor schedule require separate planning.

4. SHOT Show
Exhibit dates: January 19–22, 2027
Location: The Venetian Expo and Caesars Forum, Las Vegas, NV
SHOT Show brings together the shooting, hunting, outdoor and law-enforcement trade. Suppliers should consider it when their sales depend on qualified industry retailers, distributors and other professional buyers. Organize product lines around those audiences so staff can move directly into a relevant discussion. Review participation and display requirements before committing equipment or inventory. The event spans two connected venues, making the assigned booth location and meeting schedule important when deciding how many people are needed on the floor.

5. The International Surface Event
Exhibit dates: February 2–4, 2027
Location: Mandalay Bay Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV
The International Surface Event focuses on flooring, stone and tile. It is relevant to suppliers selling through dealers, distributors, installers and fabrication businesses. Samples need to make finish, construction and application differences easy to compare, with technical information available for buyers who want a closer review. TISE shares its exhibit dates with IBS and KBIS, which take place at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Teams working across those events need to allow for separate floor coverage and travel between venues.
6. NAHB International Builders’ Show
Exhibit dates: February 2–4, 2027
Location: Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV
IBS serves the residential construction market, covering structural components, building materials, home technology and other products used in new homes and remodeling. Exhibitors should explain where their product enters the construction process and what builders need to know about installation, performance and purchasing. IBS and KBIS run together during Design & Construction Week. Their related audiences create opportunities for complementary meetings, while each show retains its own product focus. Choose the event that best matches the people specifying or purchasing your offer.
7. KBIS
Exhibit dates: February 2–4, 2027
Location: Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV
KBIS centers on kitchen and bath products, design and specification. It suits brands whose buyers need to compare finishes, configurations and product combinations before making a selection. Displays should help dealers and designers understand how the range works across different projects, with specifications and availability close at hand. The shared Design & Construction Week schedule allows exhibitors to coordinate related meetings with the IBS audience. Keep those discussions focused on the questions each buyer needs answered, from construction requirements to design choices.
8. MAGIC Las Vegas — February Edition
Exhibit dates: February 16–18, 2027
Location: Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV
MAGIC Las Vegas serves fashion brands and wholesale retail buyers. This entry covers the February edition for teams planning that buying season. Retailers need to assess collections, price points, delivery windows and how the assortment fits their stores. A clear selection of products helps buyers review the range without sorting through every available item. Before booking, confirm that the event’s categories and retailer audience match your collection, then prepare order information and samples around the season you are selling.

9. ASD Market Week
Exhibit dates: March 2–4 and August 3–5, 2027
Location: Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV
ASD Market Week offers retailers a broad merchandise sourcing environment. Suppliers need to communicate their assortment, retail price position and ordering terms quickly, especially when buyers are comparing several categories during one visit. Keep delivery information and minimum quantities close to the samples so staff can spend more time discussing the retailer’s needs. Both 2027 editions appear in this single entry. Choose the dates that fit your customers’ buying cycles and your inventory availability when deciding whether to attend one or both.

10. AAOS Annual Meeting
Exhibit dates: March 3–5, 2027
Location: The Venetian Convention & Expo Center, Las Vegas, NV
The AAOS Annual Meeting is relevant to companies supplying orthopaedic devices, instruments and related clinical technologies.

Decide which equipment visitors need to inspect and which discussions require a quieter setting before planning the display. The overall meeting runs March 3–6, while exhibits run March 3–5. Schedule demonstration and sales coverage around the exhibit days and follow the applicable requirements for your products and participation.

12. ISC West
Exhibit dates: April 7–9, 2027
Location: The Venetian Expo, Las Vegas, NV
ISC West brings security suppliers together with integrators, dealers and security decision-makers.

Prepare technical information that helps buyers understand where the product fits and what installation or maintenance requires. A focused system demonstration can support both an initial conversation and a deeper review. The wider program runs April 5–9, but the exhibit hall opens April 7, which affects when technical staff need to be available.

Exhibit dates: May 25–27, 2027
Location: Mandalay Bay Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV

The booth should support scheduled meetings and a clear presentation of the licensing opportunity, with privacy where commercial discussions require it. Brands selling finished inventory should compare this audience with wholesale merchandise events before choosing. Licensing and product distribution involve different buyers, agreements and materials, even when they concern similar consumer products.

15. JCK
Exhibit dates: June 4–7, 2027
Location: The Venetian Expo, Las Vegas, NV
JCK is a focused option for jewelry suppliers developing retail and industry relationships. Select products around the buyers, price positions and categories you want to serve. Visitors need space for close inspection and clear information about materials, availability and order terms.

Check separate access and scheduling requirements for related events before arranging staff travel or extending the program.
16. SUPERZOO
Exhibit dates: August 11–13, 2027

17. PACK EXPO Las Vegas
Exhibit dates: September 27–29, 2027
Location: Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV
PACK EXPO Las Vegas serves packaging and processing suppliers whose buyers need to evaluate equipment, materials or production workflows.

Running machinery and large equipment displays also affect freight, power and usable space. Resolve those requirements early enough to shape the exhibit design. This entry covers the Las Vegas edition, separate from PACK EXPO International in Chicago.

Location: Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV
The SEMA Show serves automotive specialty equipment, accessories and vehicle customization businesses. Installed products and vehicles can help explain an application, supported by fitment details, availability and ordering information. Identify whether your priority is distributors, retailers, installers or other industry partners before deciding what to display.

Exhibit dates: November 17–19, 2027
Location: Mandalay Bay Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV

Which Shows Fit Your Business?
Compare the buyers and purchasing decisions behind each event. A shared industry label does not always mean two shows serve the same sales goal.

Building products and interiors | World of Concrete, IBS, KBIS, TISE, HD Expo | Match the application: concrete jobsites, residential construction, kitchens and baths, surfaces, or hospitality interiors. |
Retail merchandise | ASD, MAGIC, JCK, SUPERZOO | Compare broad wholesale sourcing with fashion, jewelry or pet retail specialization. Consider buyer fit and order timing. |
Promotional merchandise or brand licensing | The PPAI Expo, Licensing Expo | PPAI serves promotional products sold through distributors. Licensing Expo concerns rights to use brands and intellectual property. |
Production equipment or ingredients | PACK EXPO Las Vegas, SupplySide Global | PACK EXPO serves packaging and processing requirements. SupplySide supports ingredient sourcing and formulation. |
Hospitality products or event business | HD Expo, IMEX America | HD Expo serves hospitality design and specification. IMEX connects providers with meetings, events and incentive travel buyers. |
Plan Your Las Vegas Exhibit Around the Shortlist
Check overlapping dates before assigning the same people or exhibit inventory to several shows. World of Concrete overlaps SHOT Show in January. TISE, IBS and KBIS share February 2–4 across two convention centers. PACK EXPO Las Vegas and IMEX America overlap in September at separate venues.
For each selected show, confirm the footprint, product list, demonstration requirements and meeting needs. Freight, move-in and service deadlines come from the current exhibitor manual and are separate from public exhibit dates. Review Las Vegas booth rental options once those requirements are clear.
If you are planning several events, the Las Vegas exhibit planning guide provides broader guidance on matching the booth to different show environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these exhibit dates or full conference dates?
The calendar lists exhibit-floor dates. Individual entries identify additional education or conference days where relevant. Those extra program days do not necessarily include access to the exhibits.
Why are CONEXPO-CON/AGG, InfoComm and LDI absent?
This article covers Las Vegas events in 2027. CONEXPO-CON/AGG returns in 2029, InfoComm 2027 takes place in Orlando, and LDI 2027 is scheduled for New Orleans. Shows that have used Las Vegas in previous years may follow different schedules or locations.
Can one exhibit be used at several of these shows?
Yes, when the structure and display format fit the allocated spaces and the schedules allow transport and preparation between events. Compare booth dimensions, product handling, utilities and graphics before planning reuse. Overlapping shows may require separate inventory and staff.
