The 2021 PCA Convention & Trade Show will take place July 10-13, 2021 at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas.

In an email sent to exhibitors yesterday, the Premium Cigar Association (PCA) formally announced its dates for the 2021 trade show. The dates will mean that the set-up days will take place immediately following the July 4th holiday.

The PCA gave the following dates to its exhibitors:

  • Move-In — July 6-9
  • Trade Show — July 10-13
  • Breakdown — July 13-15

Previous PCA Convention & Trade Shows—formerly known as the IPCPR—featured as many as five days of set up.

Most of the other details remain the same. The venue is the same, the trade show will run Saturday-Tuesday and the PCA is planning on using the same trade show floorplan as the canceled 2020 trade show.

In the email, the association said that “all exhibitors who have already paid for a 2020 booth space will now have this rolled over to 2021.” This likely means that the default option for the PCA is to not refund money for the canceled 2020 trade show.

The 2020 PCA Convention & Trade Show was to take place July 11-14 before being canceled due to the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic.
