CBG Expands Las Vegas Show to 3 Days
The trade show has also upgraded its venue to the Caesars Forum Conference Center.
The CBG Vegas 2025 trade show is slated for June 3 to 5, the days leading up to the JCK Show.
Las Vegas—The Continental Buying Group has expanded its Las Vegas trade show from two days to three days.
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.
