2026 TESTIMONIALS
We had the chance to meet with several new vendors and they said the show was really great for them. My distributor teams were looking for both domestic and international opportunities, so for the direct import teams the show was good.
KAREEM MOORE
Regional Sales Manager, Wavestore
We had a really productive couple of days, meeting with a few current suppliers and several potential new ones. We were all impressed by how worthwhile the experience was. We look forward to returning as the show continues to evolve.
GEORGE MACIAS
