There are approximately 25,000 tradeshows and conventions that take place every year in the USA. Most shows stay at the same venue for a number of years, while others move about the country - many times in a circuit. Orlando, New Orleans, Anaheim, and Chicago or Las Vegas have a number of shows that move to each stop in a different year. The top 50 shows, many with a more international flavor are listed below. Most are quite large, while others have a broad range of exhibits from across the world. We have listed the show, the month it normally takes place, the venue city with a notation if it moves, and a website. We are happy to help any one that needs a little guidance in choosing the right show!
