Top Glass Artist Trade Shows: Champs Trade Show

Held annually since 1999, Champs Trade Show Expo is one of the largest North-American B2B expos within the counter-culture accessory market. Large in scale and featuring vendors producing all types of custom functional glass-work, Champs Trade Show Expo is a great intersection between the glass-artist and the market of interested glass enthusiasts.

The next major show will take place from November 11th -13th from 11 am to 6pm at the Broward County Convention Center in Fort Lauderdale, FL.

You can expect a vast collection of vendors offering all things smoking accessories. You will encounter plenty of functional and decorative glass, however, there is definitely a preference for the wholesale variety of smoke shop accessory pieces rather than fine-art gallery type pieces.  That being said, there will be a heavy B2B focus that is great for those looking to buy or sell custom glass.

You can secure your booth using the portal on the official Champs Trade Shows Expo website.  With a booth secured, you should bring the best sample set of your custom glass that you offer, while also offering a full-length catalogue of your portfolio to advertise to any interested buyers,

If you possess business credentials, you can attend Champs as a buyer or collector. This requires meeting the verification requirements of having a business ID, reseller licensce, and so on.
