The industry spoke and PMA responded… very quickly. The loose ball that was PMA’s 2008 Vegas dates falling on Super Bowl Sunday didn’t rattle around very long as the organization recently told us they have changed the dates for the ‘08 show to run Thursday, January 31 – through Saturday February 2, 2008. PMA released the following statement in response to the rumblings we heard (and apparently they did too) over the Super Bowl conflict.
“The PMA 08 International Convention and Trade Show is set for Thursday, Jan. 31 through Saturday, Feb. 2, 2008, at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nev., USA. While we are fully committed to the city of Las Vegas and our early February dates, we have listened to the comments and concerns of our various constituencies regarding the overlap with Super Bowl XLII, held Feb. 3 in Phoenix. We’ve responded in a timely fashion,” the statement explained.
“PMA will continue to offer the full complement of educational opportunities that are the hallmark of our convention, as well as allied meetings of PPFA, DIMA, PSPA, SPAA, PIEA and PSRO. Super Bowl week has traditionally been an exciting time for the city of Las Vegas – and its hotels – and we anticipate tying into a number of these events for our attendees and our exhibitors.”
Should be a great week in Vegas.
