Working the crowd

By Ed Richter | Tuesday, May 20, 2008, 11:11 AM

LAS VEGAS — With 50,000 attendees and some 2 million square feet of exhibition space being utilized at the Las Vegas Convention Center, it can be easy to get lost at the annual ReCon convention.

However, the Middletown delegation continues to visit various retailers to network with them. Their hope is when the economy starts to move up again, those retailers now on the sidelines will remember the city’s efforts to start a relationship as well as other incentives that may become available.

Middletown isn’t the only Ohio municipality/governmental entity with a presence at the ReCon convention. In fact, there are more than a dozen Ohio local governments are in Las Vegas. Those include Trotwood, Clayton, Montgomery County, Warren County (who is also working with Middletown), Brunswick, Xenia and Cincinnati.

Among the retailers the Middletown delegation will be visiting with include YUM Brands which owns Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and Kentucky Fried Chicken; Bravo restaurant; Restoration Hardware.

Some of the Middletown delegation will be leaving Las Vegas later today with the rest leaving early Wednesday.
