Venetian Macau previews show calendar

In an early press release, the Venetian Macau has announced a calendar of over 20 exhibitions in industries as diverse as police and security, jewelry, hospitality, leather goods, real estate, automotive parts and accessories, high-end consumer goods, luxury boats, and investment forums. Committed organisers include China International Exhibition Center Group Corporation from Beijing; Koelnmesse and Messe Frankfurt from Germany; VNU Expositions Asia from the Netherlands; Australasian Gaming Machine Manufacturers Association from Australia; Reed Exhibitions Worldwide; CMP Asia headquartered in Hong Kong; and China Promotion, Coastal
International Exhibition and Adsale Exhibition Services Ltd. from Hong Kong.

This comes at the end of an intense period of personal lobbying of organisers by the Venetian's main shareholder, Comdex founder Sheldon Adelson. The new 80,000 sq. metre exhibition centre at the Venetian Macau is due to open in late 2007.
