“We have invested a lot of time and resources to gather feedback from our customers,” said Yancy Weinrich, senior vice president of JCK. “We have heard your preferences, to return to both the Sands Expo and The Venetian and our traditional date pattern. Based on your feedback, we have spent the past few months negotiating to secure these dates. We are thrilled to be able to deliver, and are as excited as ever for the show. While it marks the return to our roots, it is also a fresh beginning.”
Show organizers said they will have a block of rooms at The Venetian with group rates.
