    2024 Traverse City Mini Showcase  |

    Exhibitor Registration
    Register for the incredible Traverse City Mini Showcase. The smallest show with the Biggest WOW! factor. The Lodge features a beautiful conference center, large spacious suites, a water park and lots of family fun amenities too. Easy access away from the major construction at the waterfront.  Easy access to the wineries, craft breweries, and the charm of Northern Michigan.

    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. Wise exhibitors come up for a romantic weekend and stay on for this Tuesday show.

    Last year we had our biggest attendance with 50 distributors. Yes, it's not a big number but these are important 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. There will be a few "down-staters" who will come to the show simply because it's Traverse City in the Summertime, but honestly, you probably see them a few times a year. (But the ones who do come up for this show always rave about having the time to have meaningful conversations about new opportunities). 

    NOTE:  American Solutions For Business will be hosting an end user show here on June 12. If you are invited to exhibit with them, you'll be able to keep your exhibit up for a double dose of fun. Our room block will offer the same rate for a two night stay should you decide to make it a two-fer.

    Great rate at Great Wolf Lodge if you reserve your room by May 10
