Taking photos and video at a show
Phones and cameras are usually fine at Las Vegas shows, but photographing another company's products is where exhibitors get in trouble. These rules come from each show's own 2026 or 2027 rules and the LVCC's code of conduct, named in each rule. If you're bringing a hired photographer or video crew, check your show's manual first.
