Find the right experience for your show

Pick your convention. We'll recommend professional poker training, a venue that fits where you already are, and a second option if that room is not the right fit.

A recommendation is a planning suggestion. It is not a booking, a partnership, or an official convention activity. Rooms are subject to approval, availability, capacity, and casino rules.

Fintech & Finance

Money20/20 USA

Your Recommended Experience. Heading to Money20/20? We'd recommend an interactive poker training experience followed by a private tournament.

Professional poker training is included. The format for this show is Signature Training + Tournament.

Suggested Venue. The Venetian Poker Room

You are already at the Venetian, so your group can walk over after the day. We keep poker in the poker room.

Another option. A Venetian meeting or banquet room, or your own hospitality suite

Use a banquet room or the suite you hold if you want more privacy, or if you want games other than poker. Do not assume blackjack, roulette, or other casino games are allowed in the poker room.

Suggested timing. After conference hours

Make the Most of Your Las Vegas Convention

Bring Your Best People Together

Your best clients, prospects, and teammates are already in Las Vegas. Use the week to put them in one room.

Build Stronger Relationships

A private table gives your guests a reason to talk, decide, and stay. You remain the host.

Learn From Professional Poker Players

A working professional teaches at your table. Your guests do not need to know the game before they sit down.

Your Event, Your Way

You choose the hotel, suite, or private room. We staff the poker experience around your schedule and your group.

Who are you hosting?

Clients & prospects

For your clients and prospects, we'd recommend a Professional Poker Happy Hour + Hand Analysis. Your team stays with them after the booth, the suite, or the last meeting, and a professional walks the table through real decisions.

Plan this for my clients

Team

For your team, we'd recommend our Signature Poker Training + Tournament. Training comes first, then a private tournament, so the night is shared work of a different kind than another meeting.

Plan this for my team

Executives / VIPs

For your executives, we'd recommend a Private VIP Poker Strategy Experience. One oval table seats nine students plus a dealer, with one professional. The pace can stay conversational.

Plan this for my executives

After-hours networking

For an after-hours night, we'd recommend an Interactive Poker Networking Experience. Start when your floor closes. Your guests arrive from the show and have a reason to talk with someone who was not in their afternoon meeting.

Plan my after-hours night

Experience options

You choose the room. We bring the professionals, the dealers, and the flow. Every option below includes professional poker training. The shape of the night changes with your group.

Professional Poker Training

A professional teaches at your table, pauses hands, and explains the decision. Built for mixed skill levels when the lesson is the event.

Private Corporate Tournament

A hosted tournament for your company, after a short lesson. Useful when your group wants a clear finish after a day of meetings.

Signature Training + Tournament

Instruction and hand analysis, then private tournament play. This is the format we use when your team wants both a lesson and a game. The example night below shows the timing.

Client / Prospect Entertainment

A hosted night for the customers and prospects you want in the room. The tone can stay social, instructional, or competitive. You stay with them.

Corporate Casino Night

Poker plus other table games when your brief calls for a wider floor. Other games need an approved private or banquet room. We do not assume they are allowed in a poker room.

Seminar / Breakout Session

A classroom-style session that can sit inside your meeting program, then move to a table if your group wants to play afterward.

Turn Your Booth Into a Destination

Give convention attendees a reason to stop, engage, and stay. Bring a professional poker player directly into your trade-show booth for interactive hand analysis, strategic challenges, and engaging conversations that connect naturally with your brand.

From quick five-minute hand breakdowns to scheduled small-group strategy sessions, we can customize the experience around your booth, your audience, and your event goals.

Exhibitor permission, venue rules, space, and organizer approval are required. We do not promise crowds, leads, booth placement, or unrestricted show-floor activity.

Build My Convention Event

The signature format

The signature corporate format is about 75 minutes of professional poker instruction and hand analysis, then about 75 minutes of private tournament play. With arrivals, the hosted window is about 3 hours. A standard oval table seats nine students plus one dealer. One professional teaches up to nine students.

Professionals may stay for bust-out analysis when your group wants to talk through the final hands. Table-based hand analysis can reach about 90 participants where that setup fits. Classroom, tournament, and wider programs can reach 250 or more guests depending on the room and the production.

Example convention night

Example only, not a guarantee. Shift it to your show's real closing time. The tournament finish can vary. The hosted window is about 3 hours including arrival.

  1. Your convention wraps
  2. | Arrivals, welcome & professional introductions

    A brief welcome, introduction to our poker professionals, and a quick overview of the experience before everyone gets into the action.

We build the experience around your Las Vegas convention schedule

We help you coordinate the poker experience around your group, your timing, and the Las Vegas venue you select.

We do not own the convention halls, and we do not book the show. You choose the hotel, conference venue, or private room. We staff and run the poker experience inside it.

Before, after, open night, final night

Before the convention

Use an arrival night to put your leadership team or a customer council in one room before the floor opens.

After conference hours

Start when your sessions end. Your guests come from the show instead of from a separate invitation they might skip.

Open evening

An evening without a required client dinner is a clean window for the signature format.

Final night

Close the trip while your people are still in the city, before early flights the next morning.

Build your convention night

Four questions. We'll recommend a format from your group, size, goal, and timing. The recommendation does not check player availability or price.

1. Who is coming?
2. How many people?
3. What kind of night?
4. When should it happen?

Your recommendation

Answer all four questions. We'll recommend a format here. Nothing is sent until you use the plan or the quote form.

What happens next

  1. 01

    Tell us the week. Your convention, a rough guest count, and the night you have open are enough to start.

  2. 02

    We recommend a format. Training, a tournament, the signature night, a client event, or a wider floor, matched to your group.

  3. 03

    You receive a custom quote. Pricing is quoted for your event. There is no rate card on this page.

  4. 04

    We produce it in your room. Professionals, dealers, tables, chips, and cards are coordinated around the venue you select.

You do not need to know the format, the table count, or which professional will lead.

Answers for your convention week

Is Las Vegas Poker Training affiliated with the conventions on this calendar?

No. This calendar is provided as a planning resource. Las Vegas Poker Training is an independent corporate-event provider and is not affiliated with the listed convention or trade-show organizers unless expressly stated.

Do your guests need to know how to play poker?

No. A professional teaches your group at the table, so people who have never played can sit with people who have. The lesson is part of the night.

Where can you host the experience?

You can host private poker training, tournaments, and wider experiences at the hotel, conference venue, or private room you select. We do not require a casino floor, and we do not own the convention venues on this calendar.

Do you have to choose the format first?

No. You do not need to pick the format, the table count, or a specific professional before you ask. Your convention, a guest range, and the point of the night are enough to start a custom quote.

Can one night combine training and a tournament?

Yes. The signature format is one sequence: instruction and hand analysis, then private tournament play. Professionals may stay afterward to talk through busted hands. It is one event, not two bookings.

Can you host clients and prospects instead of employees?

Yes. The table can be for your customers and prospects, with your team in the room as hosts. It does not have to be a staff-only activity, and it does not replace a dinner you already value.

What if your group needs a larger casino-night format?

A corporate casino night is the wider-room option, with poker and other table games scoped to the space you select. Other games need an approved private or banquet room. It is quoted from your guest count, the room, and the production. This page does not list a rate.

Can you hold it in a hotel or hospitality suite?

Yes. A hotel suite, a meeting room, or another private space you hold is a normal setting. The dealers, cards, chips, and professionals come to that room, subject to the venue's approval.

How far in advance should you plan?

Share the convention week when your guest list and the open night are roughly known. The quote follows your dates. Show hours on this calendar can still change, so confirm them with the organizer.

What if your convention schedule changes?

Tell us. We can move the private event to another open evening, the night you arrive, or your final night. This calendar is a planning aid. The experience is booked around your group, not as part of the show.

Will this work for your executives or VIP guests?

Yes. A smaller group can use one oval table: nine students plus a dealer, with one professional. The pace can stay conversational, with hand analysis instead of a large room.

How is pricing determined?

Pricing is a custom quote for your group, the format, and the room. This page does not publish rates. You do not need a final headcount to ask.

Can you coordinate other corporate event services during our Las Vegas convention?

Yes. Beyond professional poker experiences, Las Vegas Poker Training can help connect your event with local partners for transportation, VIP concierge services, trade-show talent, brand activations, hospitality and other event needs. These services are coordinated separately, subject to availability, and quoted based on your requirements.

What can you do after your Las Vegas convention?

After the show floor closes, you can keep your clients, prospects, or team together for a private poker experience at your hotel, a conference room, or a private room you choose. We can build professional instruction, a private tournament, or a wider format around that open time.

The useful window is usually the gap between your last session and a late flight, or an open evening when your group is already in the same hotel. The convention stays someone else's event. The night is yours.

What is a good way to entertain your clients during a Las Vegas convention?

A hosted poker experience works well when a professional teaches your group and then stays for live play. Your clients and prospects get a shared activity after meetings, without replacing a dinner or reception you already value. We keep the teaching at your table.

You stay in the room. Your guests do not need to know the game before they sit down.

Can you schedule the event after the trade show floor closes?

Yes. You can schedule it after the floor closes, on an open evening, before the convention begins, or on your final night. We time it around your sessions, dinners, and departure plans so it fits the week you already booked.

How long should your corporate poker event last?

Our signature format is about 75 minutes of professional poker instruction and hand analysis, then about 75 minutes of private tournament play. With arrivals, the hosted window is about 3 hours. The tournament finish can vary. Plan on that window when you ask for a quote.

How many guests can you host?

A standard oval table seats nine students plus one dealer. Table-based training uses one professional for up to nine students. Hand analysis can host up to about 90 participants where that setup fits. Classroom, tournament, and wider formats can reach 250 or more guests, depending on the room and the production.
