All Wireless & Prepaid Expo 2026 is scheduled for August 18–19 in the Julius Ballrooms at Caesars Palace. Produced by Prepaid Expo LLC, the business-to-business event serves companies involved in prepaid and postpaid wireless service, mobile virtual network operations, device sales and repair, accessories, payments, insurance, financing, software, and retail technology. Its audience includes wireless dealers, electronics retailers, repair businesses, distributors, carriers, mobile virtual network operators, technology vendors, and companies that provide operational services to those businesses. The organizer reported that dealers, repair shops, and electronics retailers accounted for 67 percent of attendance in 2025, indicating that the program is built substantially around the needs of storefront operators as well as network and technology companies.

The 2026 schedule divides the event between an exhibit hall, conference sessions, and focused training. The main conference examines the prepaid market, carrier and dealer relationships, mobile virtual network operators, certified pre-owned devices and trade-ins, expansion beyond handset sales, artificial intelligence in retail operations, right-to-repair policy, Lifeline program changes, payment fraud, cybersecurity, and store security. A live dealer review is also included in the conference program. The second day adds training tracks covering device diagnostics and repair as well as the use of artificial intelligence and automation for customer communication, lead response, and retail marketing. Exhibits operate on both days, giving retailers and service providers time to compare products, distribution arrangements, software, and other business services. The event also runs a retailer program for qualifying dealers and retailers, while exhibitors and sponsors participate through commercial packages. Food functions and an exhibit-floor reception are incorporated into the show schedule rather than separated at another property.

History in Las Vegas

The organizer dates All Wireless & Prepaid Expo to 2008 and describes the 2026 program as representing 18 years of operation. Available records place recent editions at Caesars Palace. A 2024 announcement identified that year’s gathering as the 16th expo and listed Caesars Palace as the venue, and official exhibitor materials show that the 2025 edition also used the property. The 2026 event therefore continues an established Las Vegas and Caesars Palace run rather than introducing the conference to the city. Over that period, the event expanded beyond its original prepaid-wireless concentration to include repair, accessories, software, financial services, and other parts of wireless retail. Its current format reflects that broader scope while retaining prepaid service and dealer distribution as central subjects.

Location

Caesars Palace is located on Las Vegas Boulevard in the central Strip resort corridor. The expo uses the Julius Ballrooms for exhibit activity and the Verona room for conference and training sessions, allowing the trade floor and educational program to operate within the same resort complex. Exhibitor setup begins before the public program, and the published schedule places registration, conference sessions, exhibit hours, food functions, and the exhibit-floor reception within the Caesars Palace meeting area. This arrangement is relevant to an event that alternates between scheduled education and supplier meetings throughout two compact days. It also reduces the need to move products, demonstration equipment, and retail-technology displays between separate conference sites.
