IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR MEDIA

We are looking forward to seeing you at the 40th Anniversary SHOT Show January 23 to 26 at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas. Only two weeks away, the show is shaping up to be another blockbuster.

The National Shooting Sports Foundation, owner of the SHOT Show, reminds registered media of the following services and amenities that will help make covering the show as easy as possible.
Online Newsroom
The place to find news and information geared to media is the Online Newsroom at www.shotshow.org/newsroom. For general show news, check out the SHOT Show Blog at www.shotshow.org/blog and visit the show’s website, www.shotshow.org.
 
Your Media Badge
Always wear your media badge while at the show. Except for international media, all registered media should have received their badge in the mail by now. If you did not receive it, bring your confirmation email to the badge pick-up desk outside the press room on Level 3 of the Venetian to pick up your media badge. International media must pick up their badges at this location as well. The badge pickup desk will open on Sunday, January 21, at 12 p.m.
