The American Rental Association last week announced that for the fourth consecutive year, exhibit space for The Rental Show is sold out. In addition, the overall floor space the trade show will occupy in Las Vegas is larger than the 2007 show in Atlanta.
The exhibits for the 2008 show at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center will occupy 354,700 net square feet — just 200 net square feet shy of the largest-ever show floor in terms of space. The 1998 Orlando, Fla., and 2000 Anaheim, Calif., shows both occupied 354,900 net square feet. The 2007 Atlanta show was 352,300 net square feet.
The heavy construction and light construction/general tool booths will be in the Bayside exhibit halls on the convention center’s first level and the party/special event booths will be in the Shorelines B exhibit hall on the second level.
There will be 650 exhibitors in Las Vegas, with 63 companies exhibiting for the first time.
The Rental Show 2008 is Feb. 11-14, with pre-Show educational workshops on Feb. 10. Complete information on the show is available online at www.TheRentalShow.com.
