The preeminent B2B trade show is back! Whether you’re a retailer, manufacturer, broker, supplier or distributor, the PCA Convention & International Trade Show is the one event of the year you can’t afford to miss!
The annual PCA Show welcomes thousands of attendees from more than 25 countries and more than 250 manufacturers of premium cigars, pipes and accessories, providing an unequaled buying/selling event for the premium cigar industry.
What’s new?
Starting with the most evident: The 2024 show has moved to earlier in the year. PCA24 will be held March 22–25, 2024.
“The very first week I started at the PCA, in 2019, people were calling asking me to move the show dates,” says Lisa Cox, PCA’s senior director of meetings and events. “They said it should be my number one priority. It took a while, given contracts are often negotiated many years before the show, but here we finally are!”
The show’s new dates are not the only changes this year. PCA24 will be in the Las Vegas Convention Center, with new host hotels Resorts World Las Vegas, Renaissance Las Vegas (where an outdoor patio off the hotel bar allows smoking), and Las Vegas Marriott Convention Center (a 10-minute walk to the Convention Center), to name a few. For more information on accommodations and to receive PCA-specific discounts, visit pcashow.org/travel. Note: Discounted prices end February 26, 2024.
The new venue and hotels will offer a fresh Las Vegas experience for attendees and exhibitors, and will also allow for a few extra benefits. Says Cox, “New venue, new rules. We’re excited for our interested alcohol brands to be able to participate while at the Las Vegas Convention Center. It should add a fun element to the show floor and overall experience.”
Registration is now open for PCA24 at pcashow.org.
