Fastener Distributor Trade Shows Bumping Dates in 2006
John Wolz
Fastener distribution-oriented trade shows will be bumping each other in 2006. The Specialty Tools & Fasteners Distributors Association will meet Monday through Wednesday, November 13-15, 2006, at the Las Vegas Convention Center. STAFDA starts with a tech fair and roundtables on Monday. There are general and conference sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings and the trade show during the afternoons.
The National Industrial Fastener Show / West will follow STAFDA on Thursday and Friday, November 16-17, 2006, at the Paris/Ballys hotels in Las Vegas. NIFS events begin on Wednesday with conferences and the evening opening reception.
The STAFDA closing party may be during the NIFS opening reception. STAFDA had been scheduled two weeks later but the cancellation of the giant Comdex computer show opened the earlier dates at the convention center.
The 2006 schedule is a departure from STAFDA”s traditional Sunday through Tuesday format.
The Southwestern Fastener Association will hold its tabletop show on Saturday April 30, 2006, at the Harvey Hotel/DFW Airport in Irving, TX. The show is held in even-numbered years in conjunction with the association”s spring meeting, which begins April 27.
The NIFS / East show will be Tuesday, May 2, 2006, in Columbus, OH, with conferences and the opening reception preceding on Monday.
