The Halloween, party and celebration event will take place from 10 – 12 January 2023 in Las Vegas, NV.
The Halloween & Costume Association and Clarion Events have announced that the Halloween & Party Expo will return to The Mirage in Las Vegas for the 2023 event. The show successfully returned this year in January and was met with great feedback from buyers and exhibitors alike, with both commenting that there is no substitute for a face-to-face experience.
Marni Golden Vinci, show director, commented: “The focus of the 2022 event was to create a safe environment for buyers and vendors to get back to business. The feedback post-event was overwhelmingly positive regarding the return to live shows, the need for the events, and the business that got done on the show floor.
“Most importantly, we heard from our customers that they were delighted with the new location and format of the show. Las Vegas is convenient to travel to and holding the event in a host hotel allowed more opportunity to create a community feel during and after show hours. We are excited that we could answer their request and return to Las Vegas in 2023.”
Feedback from the 2022 show showed that buyers and exhibitors were pleased with the opportunities provided. Holly Adamonis-Zuller, Loftus International (exhibitor), said: “Best show by far in over a decade. Thank you to everyone that stopped by our booth and we look forward to a great year.”
D Nachnani, buyer at Harygul’s Halloween, added: “This has been the best day and we were so excited to see so many new exhibitors.”
Following the show, there was tremendous feedback to keep the show in Las Vegas. Gregor Lawson, chairman of the Halloween & Costume Association board and founder of Morphsuits, said: “The 2023 Halloween & Party Expo is thrilled to return to Las Vegas based on the request of our attendees and exhibitors. As the country’s #1 trade show city, there are unlimited dining and entertainment options, as well as affordable flight options for domestic and international travellers.
“We are looking forward to partnering with The Mirage to provide discounted hotel rates as well as opportunities for networking on and off the show floor. We can’t wait to carry the excitement and positivity from this year’s event in 2023.”
Hotel reservations and attendee registration, which is complimentary for buyers, will open late summer. Exhibition space is available now and those interested in booth space or sponsorship should contact Marni Golden Vinci on marni.vinci@clarionevents.com
