CBG Expands Las Vegas Show to 3 Days
The trade show has also upgraded its venue to the Caesars Forum Conference Center.

The event has been structured to accommodate the Jewish holiday, Shavuot, and to precede the JCK show, said CBG.
CBG Vegas 2025 is slated for June 3 to 5 at the Caesars Forum Conference Center in Las Vegas. Previously, the show was in the Augustus Ballroom in Caesars Palace.
JCK Las Vegas 2025 is scheduled for June 6 to 9, with select areas of the show floor opening on June 5.
With this new venue comes a larger space and a premium experience, said CBG, as the booths are more spacious and each one is on a corner for maximum exposure.
Transportation will also be available from Caesars Palace to Caesars Forum via shuttle buses that will run from 7 to 10 a.m. and 5 to 8 p.m. each day.
Meals will be offered each day, including breakfast and buffet-style lunch with Kosher and Indian options available.
Two exclusive networking cocktail parties will also be held with an open bar and hors d’oeuvres.
“With a state-of-the-art venue, enhanced exhibitor benefits, and a schedule tailored for convenience, the CBG Vegas 2025 show is set to be our best event yet,” said the organization.
CBG has also secured a hotel room block at Caesars Palace in the newly renovated Colosseum Tower. Rates start at $229 a night and can be booked through the Caesars Palace website.
For more information on the CBG Vegas 2025 show and to secure a spot, contact Joe Murphy at contact@cbgi.org or 305-868-9004.
CBG’s Tampa 2025 trade show is slated for later this year, Sept. 8 to 10, at the JW Marriott Tampa Water Street in Florida.
