Reed Exhibitions, in conjunction with the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), has announced the promotion of Sales Manager Dave Jeannette to Event Director, responsible for the SHOT Show.


The SHOT Show is owned and sponsored by the National Shooting Sports Foundation and is produced and managed by Reed Exhibitions. Jeannette will fill the vacancy left by show manager Dennis MacDonald, who has recently retired.

Jeannette will now report to Reed Exhibitions Senior Vice President Ed Several, whose portfolio covers events in the sports, leisure, home & hearth, and security markets. These include the PGA Merchandise Show; Eastern Sports & Outdoor Show (ESS), ISC security events and the National Hardware Show.


Jeannette has been associated with the SHOT Show since 1994 serving as a sales executive and then later receiving a promotion to sales manager. Working alongside the NSSF, the association said he has been a key contributor to the event’s growth over the years and its ranking as one of the top trade shows in the US.
