What to expect at MAGIC Las Vegas 2026

Fashion and beauty shows run on presentation and timing. Buyers are placing orders for upcoming seasons, compare collections quickly, and care about price points, minimums and delivery dates.

Over three days, traffic usually peaks on the first two days and thins out on the last one. The quieter final day is a good time for longer conversations, visiting other stands and meeting suppliers. At events like this, expect most visitors to be boutique and department store buyers and their colleagues, often with a short list of suppliers they want to see.

How exhibitors should prepare for MAGIC Las Vegas 2026

Planning for the next edition (dates expected, not yet confirmed), here is a working timeline counted back from February 23, 2027:

1. 16 weeks before (Nov 3, 2026)
   Confirm your booth space and read the exhibitor manual. Book hotels near Las Vegas Convention Center while rates are still normal.
2. 8 weeks before (Dec 29, 2026)
   Order booth services (power, internet, furniture, cleaning) before the early-rate deadlines, and send graphics to print.
3. 4 weeks before (Jan 26, 2027)
   Ship freight to the advance warehouse if the organizer offers one. Book meetings with the visitors you most want to see. Set up lead capture and train the team on it.
4. One week before (Feb 16, 2027)
   Confirm freight arrived, share the staffing schedule, charge every device, and test your lead capture app with Wi-Fi turned off.

Preparation tips for fashion and beauty shows

• Know your wholesale prices, minimum order quantities and delivery windows by heart.
• Prepare a line sheet or lookbook that buyers can take away or receive digitally.
• Check product claim and ingredient rules for cosmetics in the show's country.

Booth tips for MAGIC Las Vegas 2026

• Keep the display clean and well lit; presentation is part of the product here.
• Ask which store or channel the buyer represents and which season they are buying for.
• Let visitors test products where hygiene rules allow.
• Walk the hall at Las Vegas Convention Center during move-in to see which entrances and aisles carry the most traffic, and set up your booth so it faces that flow.
• Plan shifts of three to four hours. Standing and talking for three days wears people out, and tired staff let good leads walk past.
• Capture every conversation the moment it ends: scan the badge or card, add a one-line note about what the visitor needs, and rate the lead hot, warm or cold. Notes written that evening are already half forgotten.

Getting to Las Vegas

Fly into Harry Reid International Airport (LAS), about 15 minutes by car from the Strip and the Las Vegas Convention Center. The Las Vegas Monorail runs along the east side of the Strip to the convention center, and the Venetian Expo and Mandalay Bay sit on the Strip itself. Big show weeks push room rates up sharply, so book early and check for resort fees. International visitors should check whether they need a visa or an ESTA before booking travel.

Hotels closest to the venue sell out first during show week, and many organizers offer discounted room blocks that close weeks before the show, so book early. Our city travel guides cover hotels, transport and budgeting for the busiest show cities.
