IGES show celebrating sweet 16 in 2015

The International Gift Exposition in the Smokies is celebrating 16 years in 2015. “We are grateful for our outstanding and loyal buyers and exhibitors and for the overwhelming support they have shown IGES for well over a decade!” said co-owner Susan Mills.

In 2000, with only 272 booths and barely more than 3,000 buyers, IGES was small but successful from the start. With 15 years of growth and with more than 1,200 booths, IGES/SSS is the largest wholesale souvenir, resort and gift expo in the United States.

Due to the overwhelming demand from buyers for Handcrafted and Made-in-America products in recent years, IGES will be showcasing special section at the Sevierville Convention Center focused on these exhibitor groups. Additionally, all Handcrafted and Made-in-America exhibitors will have signage displayed, making them easy for buyers to locate.

Show dates are Nov. 3-6 at the Sevierville Convention Center and Nov. 4-8 at LeConte Center in Pigeon Forge. For more information, call 800-430-7608 or email info@iges.us.
