SHOT Show: It’s a big deal

At SHOT Show 2023, Jan 17–20, 2023, you will find a full range of manufacturers, products, partnerships and opportunities to grow your business through 2023 and beyond.

Unparalleled access to product lines and manufacturers, once-a-year inventory ordering opportunities, meeting fellow retailers and industry leaders, managing what’s next in regulatory and compliance challenges, and supporting the powerful initiatives of the industry’s trade association – it’s a big deal to attend the 2023 SHOT Show.

At the time of writing, buyer and media registration has been open for a number of weeks and the NSSF team are happy with the initial figures coming through to them.

“In less than two weeks, attendees from 52 countries have already registered for the show! Next week, we’ll be opening registration for all exhibitors, so please keep an eye on your inbox for your registration email,” says Melissa Schilling, Director, Conferences & Exhibitions, NSSF.

More Room to Manoeuvre, More Products to See

“Goodbye crowded, can’t-move aisles preventing you from accessing high-demand exhibit,” says the NSSF team behind the organisation of SHOT Show.

The team at SHOT has expanded its exhibit floor to both the Venetian Expo and Caesars Forum, so you have more space to explore more equipment and interact with more manufacturers.

Must-See New Product Center Returning to Venetian Expo

The hottest new technology coming to market is on display in the New Product Center. See first-hand the latest innovations and smartest products that will keep your customers coming back for more.

Expand your resources

No matter what your retail or range operation — brick and mortar, local sporting goods, large chain, specialized, online or anyone in the distribution chain — the SHOT Show is your opportunity to get answers, swap stories, share challenges and learn new ways to prep your day-to-day operations for what comes next.

International Attendees

The SHOT Show welcomes international buyers and sellers from more than 100 countries.

With more than 2,000 exhibits, the SHOT Show is your best opportunity to browse manufacturers’ full product lines in addition to their latest tech and product releases. Talk to suppliers about your business, your customers and your needs and walk away with the knowledge to drive sales for your business.

Establish connections with the world's leading manufacturers of cutlery, firearms, ammunition, outdoor apparel, optics, safety equipment and tactical gear. Meet with industry professionals from around the world. Find a full range of products, businesses, and opportunities. There’s nothing like the SHOT Show experience.

Travel

Las Vegas continues to be one of the fastest-growing American markets for direct international flights. No airport in the United States has returned to capacity faster than Las Vegas. In fact, more flights are being added than any other airport every month and passenger counts are setting all-time records. Non-stop international service from Korea recently returned, and British Airways will soon begin regular service from Gatwick as well as Heathrow. 

With the addition of McCarran Airport’s new terminal, T-3, Las Vegas has added more international gate capacity, a considerably larger Federal Inspection Services facility capable of accommodating as many as 2,200 passengers per hour, and increased baggage handling capabilities. McCarran was also one of the first airports in the United States to install Automated Passport Control kiosks or APCs allowing visitors arriving from approved countries a more streamlined arrival process.

All of the above, coupled with the close proximity of the airport to the world-famous Las Vegas Strip and the Venetian Expo, makes traveling in and out of Las Vegas from international cities easier than ever.

Law Enforcement and Armed Forces

The SHOT Show is a critical forum to share agency successes, discuss timely topics and identify solutions that increase the safety of both officers and the public.

Looking for equipment modifications that can increase mobility and capability for your team? The SHOT Show is where you can meet face to face with manufacturers, learn more about the law enforcement specialized equipment they produce, or discuss product modifications that you and your officers need. There will be more than 2,000 exhibits for the law enforcement community. Nearly one-third of the SHOT Show’s exhibit halls are dedicated to protection equipment and tactical accessories needed by law enforcement, SWAT teams, private security and the armed forces.
