I’m excited to announce a special Spring Virtual Tradeshow taking place May 4–8 (Monday–Friday). Join us online to discover unique small businesses, learn about new products, and support independent vendors from the comfort of your home.
Details of the Spring Virtual Tradeshow: May 4–8
What is a virtual tradeshow?
With in-person trade shows cancelled across the country, a group of 11 independent vendors are hosting an online tradeshow. Instead of physical booths, each vendor will present their small business and products from home, sharing photos, videos, demos, and live Q&A sessions.
Where and how can I join?
The tradeshow will be hosted in a private Facebook group. Request to join the Spring Virtual Tradeshow Facebook Group to receive access. Feel free to invite friends—everyone is welcome.
How the event works
Each day, the 11 participating vendors will present during a one-hour time slot. Presentations include live videos, recorded clips, and photo posts. Tune in to the time slots that interest you to learn about products, ask questions, and shop directly with the vendor. Purchasing from a vendor supports a woman-owned small business.
Throughout the week there will be two major giveaways. Anyone who makes a purchase from any of the vendors during the event will be entered to win a $100 shopping spree with the online tradeshow. Individual vendors may also run their own giveaways and promotions in their Facebook groups, giving attendees additional chances to win prizes.
