2026 Northern Connections | Supplier Registration

Formerly known as the TC Mini Showcase.

Register now for Northern Connections! This will be a great opportunity to connect with Northern Michigan distributors that you won't see at other shows. They do a lot of business and this is a great opportunity to develop a loyal following.

This year, we'll be at a new location: Turtle Creek Casino & Hotel! Just outside of Traverse City, this venue provides the same great access to the wineries, craft breweries, and the charm of Northern Michigan, without the downtown traffic.

NOTE:  American Solutions For Business will be hosting an end user show here on June 25. If you are invited to exhibit with them, you'll be able to keep your exhibit up for a double dose of fun.

Warning: once you exhibit here, you'll want to come back every year. This area was named by Good Morning America as the Most Beautiful Place in the United States. Surrounded by the lake, sand dunes and small town charm, the area boasts wineries, craft breweries, spas, art galleries and world class golf courses.
