Broomfield, Colo. - July 20, 2011 - The 2011 edition of the Billiard Congress of America's (BCA) International Billiard & Home Recreation Expo, was held at the Sands Expo & Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, July 13 - 15, 2011.

Attendance for the three-day event was 1,275, with the 100 exhibiting companies taking a total of 388 booths.

"While the billiard industry is still suffering from a slow economy, I was pleased with the overall positive comments regarding sales activity on the show floor, content of the keynote presentation, and the Business of Billiards Seminar Series," said BCA Expo co-chairman Ivan Lee.  "The Expo continues to attract a who's-who of the billiard and home recreation industry and delivers a great platform for sales, networking and educational opportunities.  The feedback we received from exhibitors, retailers and room operators was very positive."

During the event, the Billiard Congress of America also announced Chicago as the location for its 2012 annual industry gathering.  The association unveiled the  new name, logo and tagline for next year's event:  Summit 2012: Redefining the billiard business...together.
