SIA Trade Show Moving from Las Vegas to Denver
Oct 30, 2007 · 06:51 PM · permalink
Snowsports Industries of America (SIA) announced today that their big annual trade show will move from Las Vegas to Denver in 2010. The lobbying by representatives of Denver and Colorado has been going on for some time, but this move makes sense—this may come as a surprise, but there’s no actual snow in Las Vegas.
The two-year time frame should be just enough for Denver to fortify its stripper and 24-hour buffet industries to better serve the 20,000-or-so dissipated snow sports professionals who descend on SIA each year.
Other than the debauchery and excess, there doesn’t seem to be a reason to have a snow sports show in Vegas. I’ll be glad to see it in Denver.
From The Goat:
The big ski and snowboard tradeshow is leaving the worst city in the world for the city with the worst football team in the world.
Ha!
