Laughlin Vendor Information Page

Information for all vendors and sponsors for the Laughlin Training and Vendor Expo - September 13-15, 2022

Join us at the fabulous Edgewater Resort & Casino, Laughlin, Nevada

Special Speaker/Quiet Time: There is a special speaker this year for the opening ceremony. It is imperative that your attendees be in the E-Center and have booths set up by 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, September 14, 2022. We recommend booth setup on Tuesday afternoon and have extended the hours of setup for your convenience for those that wish to setup earlier. We invite all vendor attendees to join the AACOP attendees for this special presentation. Additionally, we ask that those still on the vendor floor honor our request for “quiet time” so that it does not interfere with the speaker’s presentation.

For your convenience we have created a “To Do List” to ensure you don’t miss a thing!

    • Logo (if applicable)

  • Create Shipping Labels for Equipment with necessary information as described in the Vendor Registration Packet. Deliver to hotel no more than 7 days before the event. Don’t forget to include Return Shipping Labels so that the attendee can have equipment shipped back. On-site labels will not be available.
  • Attendees in need of power, please ensure that you pack a commercial grade extension cord per the fire marshal. Booths will be provided access to electric outlet which may be 25 feet from booth location. If more than one outlet is necessary at booth, please ensure you have a surge protector.
