History[edit]
![[icon]](/File:Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg){kind=small} | This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (July 2021) |
Founded in 1968, RX has grown to having offices in Europe, Asia and North America, managing over 400 events globally, in 43 sectors[3]
On 10 June 2021, Reed Exhibitions announced a major rebrand, changing its name to RX and creating a new slogan and brand identity.[4]
Assault weapons ban[edit]
In January 2013, shortly after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, in which 20 children and 6 adult staff members were killed, Reed Exhibitions announced that it would not allow assault weapons and high-capacity magazines at the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show, which it promoted as North America's largest outdoor hunting and fishing event. The National Rifle Association (NRA) issued a statement condemning the move and encouraging attendees to protest at the event, and threatened to withdraw its participation.[5] The NRA eventually withdrew its sponsorship and Reed Exhibitions ceased to hold the event. The NRA later recreated the event under the title The Great American Outdoor Show.[6][better source needed] Following the ban, the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) also terminated Reed Exhibitions' management of the SHOT Show, an annual tradeshow for the shooting, hunting, and firearms industry.[7][better source needed]
