If history repeats itself, more than 1,500 credentialed members of the press may be on hand to cover the 2010 SHOT Show in Las Vegas, and many will spend time in the Press Room. There, they have meetings with members of the communications and shooting-and-outdoor industry, use the computers, printers, copiers and other business services provided, enjoy complimentary refreshments and seek a comfortable place to rest their weary feet. It is also a place for them to pick up valuable press kits and other material placed on the many tables made available for that purpose to the exhibitors of the SHOT Show.
Every year exhibitors come to the desk in the press room and ask, "How can I arrange to place some of my material here?" NSSF Director of Communications Bill Brassard, who honchos the press room, provides helpful information on placing your material in the press room.
