International Gift Exposition in the Smokies 2026
The IGES (International Gift & Exhibit Show) is America’s premier wholesale resort souvenir and gift trade show, held in the Smoky Mountains across two venues: Sevierville Convention Center (Nov 3‑5, 2026) and Pigeon Forge LeConte Center (Nov 4‑7, 2026). Over 1,000 exhibitors showcase premium wholesale name‑drop items, souvenirs, gifts, custom merchandise, Made‑in‑America products, and specialty retail merchandise. The show draws 4,000+ pre‑qualified buyers from theme parks, museums, zoos, aquariums, resorts and specialty retailers across the US, Canada and the Caribbean. Highlights include order‑writing sessions for new product launches, buyer group conferences, networking dinners, and industry receptions. Exhibitors gain access to a concentrated market of travel‑and‑tourism retailers, while buyers can compare a vast array of vendors in one location. The event emphasizes networking, product discovery, and support for independent retailers, with charitable ties to disaster‑recovery efforts.
