QUESTION 1 OF 6
What is your primary role?
Compare participation options side by side to choose the best fit for your objectives.

Best for
Independent gift, souvenir, resort and attraction buyers evaluating new vendors and writing seasonal orders
Min. budget
$735.00
Timeline
1–2 days on site; register 4–6 weeks ahead for buyer credentials and to lock convention-week hotel rates
Risks
Budget estimate from listing cost signals — confirm live rates.
Convention-week hotel rates and resort fees can push lodging well above the mid-range assumption.

Best for
Souvenir, resort and imprinted-gift manufacturers, importers and sales reps seeking US buyer and distributor accounts
Min. budget
$2,205.00

Risks
Budget estimate from listing cost signals — confirm live rates.
Booth space, drayage and labour are quoted per square metre/foot by the organiser and are not published in the listing — verify directly.
Four show days plus set-up and teardown means multi-night lodging and higher freight costs.
