ANDMORE dedicates Expo at World Market Center Las Vegas to Bob Maricich
ANDMORE announced it has officially dedicated the Expo at World Market Center Las Vegas to founding CEO and Chairman Bob Maricich. In addition, the city of Las Vegas has proclaimed January 25, 2025 as “Robert (Bob) J. Maricich Day.”
“Bob Maricich is a remarkable leader with a tremendous community impact,” said Jon Pertchik, ANDMORE CEO. “When he stepped down from his role as CEO of ANDMORE last spring, the decision was quickly made that we needed a permanent way to recognize his legacy. The Expo represents the vision and passion that he has for our industry and the downtown Las Vegas community.”
The dedication of the Expo celebrates a highlight of Maricich’s long career. He recognized that Las Vegas needed an updated exhibition space to drive economic development and offer more opportunities for community gatherings. In 2021, in the midst of the pandemic, with support from Blackstone and the city of Las Vegas, he led the opening of the facility.
The Expo is projected to create hundreds of millions of dollars in economic impact for the City of Las Vegas from visitor spending to salaries and wages. It has allowed ANDMORE to improve its buyer experience with a reimagined presentation of its Las Vegas Market with continuous flow between temporary exhibits and showrooms, and the launch of two new trade shows: Las Vegas Apparel and Formal Markets Las Vegas. The Las Vegas community has come together in the space for conventions, rodeos, performances, rallies and more.
