CHAMPS Trade Show is a leading business-to-business counterculture trade expo that has been a key marketplace since 1999. It primarily serves the smoke shop, vape, and specialty products industries, showcasing a wide range of accessories, glass art, and novelty gifts. The event is a significant West Coast hub for product discovery and industry networking.
This event is exclusively for professionals within the counterculture and cannabis-related industries. Attendees typically include retailers, distributors, manufacturers, and artists looking to connect with new business partners and source innovative products. It is not open to the general public.
Attendees can expect a large exhibition floor with hundreds of exhibitors presenting their latest products and innovations. The show provides strong networking opportunities for all participants, from one-on-one meetings with suppliers to discovering new trends and business strategies. The event often features live glassblowing demonstrations and the CHAMPS GLASS GAMES™, a prestigious competition for glass artists.
Founded in 1999 by Jeff Hirschfeld and his partners, CHAMPS Trade Show was one of the first of its kind in the counterculture industry. Over the years, it has grown into the largest and most trusted business-to-business trade show in the sector, hosting multiple events annually in major cities across the United States.
