Introducing SHOT Show On Demand
Nothing can truly replace the experience of the SHOT Show® in Las Vegas. While the show won’t be taking place in person this year, it doesn’t mean NSSF® can’t help you source new products and equipment and connect with the thousands of manufacturers with available inventory to meet your needs.

Many of these manufacturers and service providers can’t be easily found through traditional distribution channels.
In addition, SHOT UniversityTM and a selection of Retailer Seminars will be available for you online, providing important industry updates and training to keep you operating successfully in the coming year.
We are currently finalizing the design and programming of SHOT Show On Demand, so more details will be available in the coming weeks. For now, mark your calendars this January 18-22, 2021, so you don’t miss your opportunity to meet one-on-one online with manufacturers.
Features of SHOT Show On Demand include:
• Searchable Online Directory of more than 2,000 exhibitors and their products
• New Product Gallery
• Schedule Appointments: Attendees will have the ability to schedule virtual meetings with SHOT Show exhibitors during SHOT Week and to communicate through private messages.
• Digital News: SHOT Show On Demand will be sending the always popular SHOT Daily through email and highlighting other publications throughout SHOT Week which feature some of the hottest new product announcements.
• On TV: SHOT Show has partnered with Outdoor Sportsman Group to provide “live” coverage on Outdoor Channel and Sportsman Channel to make it even easier to hear the latest industry news and catch product highlights.
• Education and Training: Both SHOT University and Retailer Seminars will be available online for unparalleled industry training and helpful insights.
