CONVENTION & VISITORS BUREAU
OFFERS FREE ACTIVITY-PLANNING HELP
The Orlando/Orange County Convention & Visitors Bureau knows better than perhaps any other business about the restaurants, tours, shows and attractions, local transportation, golf courses and spas in the Orlando area, and its representatives are eager to help make your SHOT Show experience a tremendous success. If you are bringing family members, you will all discover that those off-the-show-floor options can make the visit to central Florida unforgettable. That’s why the bureau is offering free trip-planning help, including discount tickets for attractions, at its Web site.
2007 SHOT SHOW BIGGEST YET
How big is it, Johnny?
It’s so big . . . Exhibitors have already reserved 625,000 square feet of space. In comparison, last year’s record-breaking show occupied 616,300 square feet—and the 2007 show is still growing!
It’s so big . . . that, in putting the exhibition space into perspective, you’ll discover that just the exhibits, not counting lobbies, aisles and other convention center facilities, are equal to the area occupied by 13-plus football fields, from goal line to goal line and side line to to side line!
It’s so big . . . More than 1,900 companies in the Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade will be exhibiting at the 2007 SHOT Show.
RETAIL SERVICES PAVILION COMES TO YOU
The Retail Services Pavilion, sponsored by “SHOT Business” magazine, once again brings together representatives of a variety of products and services of interest and value to the industry, and they will be stationed right on the show floor to meet SHOT Show participants and answer their questions.
“For the convenience of our attendees, we’ve brought the pavilion to the show floor, in the General Shooting and Hunting section, in the 5000 aisle right on Main Street,” said Jeanette Mannuzza, the National Shooting Sports Foundation’s director of SHOT Show operations. “The size of the convention center has allowed us a key location that truly serves our attendees.”
Gathered will be many of the companies that have partnered with the show’s owner and sponsor, the National Shooting Sports Foundation, to provide special NSSF members-only services and/or discounts.
Visit these companies and learn what they can do for you:
Burr & Company Insurance (health and other insurance plans)
