Why is JCK moving to Mandalay Bay?
We are moving because our customers wanted us to move. Our annual exhibitor research showed growing dissatisfaction with the Sands infrastructure, amenities, hall design and service levels. Retailer research confirmed Las Vegas as the overwhelming choice of location for JCK and the current date pattern as optimal. As a result, the JCK team worked hard to provide an option, or choice, to our exhibitors. This summer, more than 80 individuals and organizational representatives, including both domestic and key international customers, speaking on behalf of more than 500 exhibiting companies toured Mandalay Bay and reviewed the option to move. That group expressed strong support (92% in favor) for the move. In turn, Mandalay Bay was able to meet our requirements for service levels, date patterns and customer value. We are delighted to be able to answer our customers request for increased value and an improved experience with this move.
