Hospitality Show Returns to Las Vegas in 2028
Exhibitors and sponsors can rebook now for the March 27-29, 2028 show at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Updated on Nov. 3, 2026 in Hospitality
Hotel workers, planners and vendors who work the Las Vegas hospitality calendar will see The Hospitality Show return to the Las Vegas Convention Center on March 27-29, 2028. The event, produced by the American Hotel & Lodging Association and Forge, is moving to spring timing.
Why it matters
The Hospitality Show is returning to the city where it first launched, and the earlier spring slot is meant to line up with how hotels plan, buy and staff for the year. Rebooking is already open for exhibitors and sponsors, so valley vendors who want space should weigh the timing now.
The figures come from the producing organizations' own announcement, which cites AHLA membership of more than 30,000 and coverage of about 80% of franchised hotels and the 16 largest U.S. hotel companies. The announcement does not yet give attendance or exhibitor projections for the March 2028 show.

Trade group co-producing The Hospitality Show, headquartered in Washington, D.C., and representing more than 30,000 members.

The details
The Hospitality Show is produced by the American Hotel & Lodging Association and Forge, and the next edition will be held in Central Hall at the Las Vegas Convention Center from March 27 to 29, 2028. Forge and AHLA say they have developed a new show floor, programming, networking and partnership opportunities for the Las Vegas return. Rebooking is open now for exhibitors and sponsors, and THS-branded experiences are planned throughout 2027 ahead of the show.

Beyond the Strip

If you work in a Las Vegas hotel or supply the industry, the spring 2028 date gives you a new planning window to build around. Watch for 2027 THS-branded events if you want to connect with buyers before the show opens.
The takeaway
The Hospitality Show is coming back to Las Vegas on March 27-29, 2028, and the spring date is meant to fit how the industry plans and buys. If you want space, rebooking is open now for exhibitors and sponsors.
