NATO Show Approaches Sell Out

Less than 10% of booth space available at 11th Anniversary and Trade Show in April

MINNEAPOLIS -- NATO has announced that less than 10% of booth space is available at its upcoming 11th Anniversary and Trade Show to be held April 24-26, 2012 at the Paris, Las Vegas Hotel in Las Vegas.

"Our 2012 booth sales are tracking well ahead of this time last year, and last year was a sell-out" said Steve Sandman, trade show committee chairman. "With booth sales up 25% over last year that means more products and more show deals for buyers."

As the "best all tobacco category show in the U.S.," the NATO Show boasts all of the major cigarette and cigar manufacturers as well as purveyors of RYO/MYO, smokeless tobacco, hookahs, lighters, humidors, pipes and pipe tobacco and more.

In addition to the trade show, the meeting features a host of outstanding educational sessions focusing on everything that tobacco retailers need to not only survive but to thrive in a difficult sales and regulatory environment. Proceeds from the show go to support NATO's legislative efforts to help the industry.

The full schedule of events and agenda may be found at www.NATOShow.com.

NATO is the National Association of Tobacco Outlets, a national retail trade association that focuses exclusively on local, state and federal tobacco legislative issues and leads the fight for all tobacco interests in the United States.
