RedlineXpo launches souvenir, gift and resort show

RedlineXpo, a producer of trade shows and conferences, introduced a new souvenir, gift and resort show: The Reunion.

Based in Las Vegas, the new expo aims to provide retail buyers the chance to browse hundreds of thousands of new designs at a strategic time in the buying cycle that will make ordering and fulfillment faster and easier, according to RedlineXpo.

The Reunion will take place April 4-6, 2024, at The Mirage Convention Center in Las Vegas and will showcase products from exhibitors across the U.S., as well as some international manufacturers.

“Despite every challenge in the marketplace over the last few years — and there have been a lot — this industry has stayed positive, continued to support one another, and put their heart and soul into everything they produce,” said Doug Miller, co-founder of RedlineXpo. “The Reunion is a chance for (co-founder) Tim and I to provide a better strategically timed event that the industry has been asking for due to some of the economical and supply chain challenges that we’ve all been dealing with. And while we’re at it, we’re going to bring back the fun that makes this community of buyers and exhibitors so special.”

Hosting the show in April provides exhibitors more time to meet with customers and fulfill orders despite any macro supply chain issues that might disrupt business as usual, show executives said.

“In building this expo, we asked ourselves ‘What can we do to make this the best possible experience for exhibitors?’” said Tim von Gal, co-founder of RedlineXpo. “We’re offering a very competitive price point for exhibitors; we’re inviting world-class buyers from enterprises around the globe; we’re hosting in Las Vegas, which is second-to-none in entertainment options for forging new relationships and solidifying the existing ones; and the whole event is produced by our RedlineXpo team. We’re confident folks will leave this expo feeling truly energized.”

The Reunion is the second trade show owned and operated by RedlineXpo. In addition to its co-founders, RedlineXpo is run by resort and souvenir trade show veterans Matt Miller, Evan Shoda, Dirk von Gal and Jhana Jordan.

“We’re always listening to our exhibitors and using their feedback to create events that optimize the buying and selling experience,” said Jordan, global key account manager for RedlineXpo. “In doing so, it became clear that adding an April show gives buyers and sellers the ability to fulfill orders for the coming season as well as add products they need to order for immediate delivery. With this new date, the commitments we’ve heard already have been so positive, and there’s no doubt this will be an exceptional show. We can’t wait to see everyone in Las Vegas!”
