Last week, IHFRA had the privilege of participating in the Las Vegas market! As we reflect on this market, feedback from our members underscores both the challenges and opportunities present at the event. While overall business and attendance were softer than expected, there was a consensus that the quality of customers in attendance remained high—a testament to the resilience of our industry. The market showcased a remarkable diversity, with numerous companies introducing innovative ideas and products. Despite the notable absence of some exhibitors, there was a notable influx of first-time participants, each bringing fresh perspectives and solutions to the table. This reaffirms the notion that adversity often sparks innovation, and it's inspiring to witness the industry's adaptability in the face of challenging times. 💡
Thanks to our strategic partnership with the HFA, coupled with our prime location in the HFA Resource Center, we were able to achieve our internal goals of bolstering visibility and credibility within the industry. By positioning ourselves at the heart of the event, we seamlessly connected with our members, engaged with new businesses, and forged valuable relationships with retailers and solution providers. Throughout the market, we proudly welcomed 20+ new and returning IHFRA members, reinforcing our commitment to supporting, enhancing, and advocating for our community. Moreover, our LV Opp-Center e-blasts facilitated meaningful connections between our members and prospective employers, enriching the networking experience and fostering opportunities for growth and collaboration. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed to the success of this event, and we eagerly anticipate further strengthening our partnerships and continuing to serve our members in the future. 💙
