The Smoky Mountain Gift Show is a comprehensive collection of key suppliers in all gift and souvenir categories. The show does a great job of attracting new suppliers each year and it is held in the beautiful Smoky Mountains- which is reason enough to attend!
Saint Louis Zoo
A wonderful opportunity for museum stores to meet new vendors, catch-up with existing vendors, and work to educate everyone on the importance of the cultural retail marketplace.
Peoria Riverfront Museum
If you can do only one trade show this one you should choose. Quality vendors, easy to navigate and location is great. Fantastic overall experience. I would highly recommend it.
