NSSF Signs Three-Year Deal with ConvExx for SHOT Show® and More

NEWTOWN, Conn. — The National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®) is pleased to announce that it has renewed its agreement with trade show management company ConvExx to continue its partnership with NSSF’s SHOT Show through 2018 and beyond.

Based in Las Vegas, ConvExx is privately held and has produced more than 200 shows and events. ConvExx will also be working more closely with NSSF on its Exhibitor Academy, Industry Summit, Sponsor Summit, Import/Export Conference, retailer compliance seminars and other events as part of this extended agreement.

“With the tremendous level of success and positive feedback we received from the past two shows, we believe that a long-term partnership with ConvExx is a good fit for our show, for our members and for our industry,” said Chris Dolnack, NSSF Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer. “ConvExx brings a customer-centric focus, collaborative culture and a track record of innovation that help make the customer experience memorable. ConvExx also understands the nuances and sensitivities of an industry such as ours.”

“We are thrilled to be extending our agreement with the NSSF for the management of the SHOT Show,” said Jeff Pressman, ConvExx President. “Over the past few years we have been warmly welcomed into this industry and feel honored to be assisting the NSSF team in producing one of the signature events in not only the shooting sports industry, but the trade show industry. We look forward to working closely with the NSSF team for many years to come in elevating the SHOT Show to even greater heights.”

NSSF’s SHOT Show, the Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade Show, is the largest and most comprehensive trade show for all professionals involved with the shooting sports, hunting and law enforcement industries. With more than 1,600 exhibitors and more than 65,000 attendees, the show is one of the largest trade shows in the country.
