Transworld 2009 Back in Las Vegas?

May 2, 2008 Industry News No Comments

This just in! Rumors are flying that TransWorld is going back to Vegas for 2009! The preliminary Dates are said to be March 6th - 9th, 2009. This was confirmed today by a source we have. Apparently this goes against all expectations due to the huge lack of participation in 2008’s venture in the same City. Maybe they locked into a very nice venue for the right price?  Who knows. I’m sure we’ll hear something new in the upcoming weeks…
