The Nevada Department of Business and Industry has given approval to Informa Markets, organizers of the World of Concrete, to move forward with its 2021 in-person trade show to be held June 8-10, 2021 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Following Governor Steve Sisolak’s address on March 12 on the Las Vegas reopening plan, Informa Markets worked with the Las Vegas Convention Center to submit a thorough health and safety plan to the Nevada Department of Business and Industry. The proposal outlined specific operational protocols and communication strategies surrounding the event. The plan was largely based on the framework of Informa AllSecure, a set of rigorous health and safety measures to prioritize guest safety at trade events, including mandatory face masks and temperature checks for all participants.
“We are thrilled to return to the show floor and confident in our evidenced ability to execute a safe event under Informa AllSecure with strong commercial outcomes for our customers,” said Jackie James, group director for World of Concrete. “The Nevada Department of Business and Industry has taken a dutiful and cautious approach to re-opening, and we are honored to be one of the first large-scale events to set the industry standard for safe and successful economic recovery. Our experienced team is excited to lead this charge.”
