Horseshoe Las Vegas Hotel, Nevada
Vendor-Exhibit Hall:
- Held on Tuesday, August 18 and Wednesday, August 19 in the Event Center at Horseshoe hotel’s Resort Tower Ground/Casino level convention floor.
- Exhibit Hall periods will run for 2.5 to 3 hours on each day (exact times are currently TBD).

- In the Grand Salon area of Horseshoe’s Resort Tower Ground/Casino level convention floor, next to the Event Center where our Exhibit Hall is located.
- Monday, August 17 from 8:00am to 4:00pm.
- Tuesday, August 18 from 8:00am until 20 minutes before the first Exhibit Hall period starts, currently TBD but will be provided in a separate follow-up communication as soon as this year’s schedule is completed.
Last Exhibit Hall Period: Booths must remain in place and manned through the end of Wednesday’s (August 19) second period of Exhibit Hall hours, or an early booth tear-down fee of $500 will be charged.
Educational CE Program (with CE credits): If you’d like to sit in on some of the attendee lectures that come with Continuing Education (CE) credits approved by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), your exhibit booth package includes a certain number of Single Session Tickets that allow your reps to sit in on a specific lecture or two. If you want to use the CE credits offered or join for all of the lectures, you must purchase a Full Program Pass. This option will become available at a later date when we ask for the names and details of the reps manning your booth onsite.
The CE sessions start each day of the conference (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday) approx. 8:20am, with breaks in between for attendee meals and the Exhibit Hall. The Tuesday and Wednesday lectures are expected to end around 5:30pm (exact times TBD) and the Thursday lecture around 2:00pm. All lectures will be held in the Platinum Grand Ballroom at the other end of the Event Center and Grand Salon.
Pharm-to-Table Lunch Mixer: Exhibitor reps may now join attendees during their provided lunch-meal periods. You asked for more time to socialize with the pharmacy attendees outside our Exhibit Hall, so NPPA has now included this as an add-on to your exhibitor package. We are excited about this offering and hope you are as well! See our 2026 Exhibitor Prospectus for details or reach out to our NPPA staff for questions.
Booth furnishings & shipping needs: The Exhibitor Services Show Kit that allows you to order furnishings and electrical/other needs for your booth and ship materials beforehand will be managed and sent by email directly from GES Expo Services, our booth setup and services company. Expect to see those emails about 2 to 3 months before the conference starts (within 2 weeks after your initial exhibit order payment with NPPA). GES will also assign you a specific booth number.
If your booth number has not been assigned before you need to place a furnishings order or ship your materials to GES, know that it is not required at the time. If you don’t have your booth number when ready to send a shipment or place an order, GES will match your company name to your booth number when NPPA provides GES with their regular updates as booth numbers are assigned and confirmed.
Furnishings provided with your exhibit package include one 6′ skirted table per 10’x10′ of space, two chairs, one wastebasket, a full side-drape, and a small sign with your company name and booth number at the top of the drape behind the booth (to indicate your booth location when setting up). The entire Exhibit Hall is fully carpeted and well lit.
Location of Booth: Your company’s main contacts on record will be notified via email by the NPPA staff when it’s time to choose your preferred booth location. Exhibitors with the largest booth sizes will be contacted first, as well as by payment date order (after you have provided at least a 50% deposit payment for your exhibitor package). You may provide up to 3 location choices to allow flexibility for competitor company proximity or other adjustments related to booth setups. Once you receive an NPPA booth-location email you will have 48 hours to make your selection. After that time, the next exhibitor will be contacted. Depending on the date or how full our Exhibit Hall is at the time, your final location may need to be adjusted further or ultimately determined by NPPA.
