Occupying a much larger space than last year—a new exhibit space that was added to Artist Hall at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas since last year’s show—the Internext Expo Meet Market got under way earlier today. Attendees of the show, which continues through January 17, thronged the hall to meet old friends, make new contact, and pick up a little swag to fill the bags provided by Meet Market sponsor Etology. Cocktails and music curated by DJ Darcie Dolce kept the crowd moving, and Internext registration sponsor PussyCash had a chef turning out delicious crepes to further satisfy attendees.

This year’s Internext will feature, for the first time, an Exhibition Floor where exhibitors can conduct business in one central location throughout the show, not just during the Meet Market. The Exhibition Floor will be open noon to 5 p.m. January 15 and 16. To locate exhibitors, refer to the show map here.
