Answers to your questions about the show

Since the show, we've received feedback in all forms, including social media, the live chat we held last month and surveys we've sent to all of the show's exhibitors and attendees.

Over the next few weeks, we'll be addressing the questions we've received and posting the answers right here on the blog.

Here is the first batch: 

Q: Can there be more staff on the floor? I had a lot of trouble finding vendors I wanted to see.
A: We will have more information staff on the floor and in the lobbies for 2011.   

Q: Will the Sands Convention Center have the roof fixed in case of rain next year? Will dry storage be considered for crates?
A: We have asked the Sands to address this for 2011. The rain we experienced was highly unusual as Las Vegas received nearly a year's worth of rain in a couple of days.

Q: Why must the SHOT Show take place in early January?
A: Because that's when the vast majority of our customers tell us they want the show. In fact, 85 percent say it should be in early January in Las Vegas.

Q: Can the SHOT Show get on a regular schedule every year? The last week of January, first week of February, etc?
A: We are currently scheduled for the third week in January but would certainly move to the second week if it became available.
