"From all of us at Dillon, THANKS M&M for taking such great care of us over the last 12 years! See you in November!"

"IGES is our favorite show of the year – great location, top notch management, and plenty of buyers!"

Josh Kelly, owner, LightUpToys.com

"We exhibit at many shows throughout the year, but we have to say the IGES show is still our # 1 show every year.”

John Fitzsimmons, Rhode Island Novelty

“Being the “new kid on the block” to the show last November, we were both excited and yet apprehensive about our new home. I am delighted to say that our experience exceeded our expectations! Not only was the show management team extremely flexible and easy to work with but the flow of customers to our booth was very rewarding. We are looking forward to the upcoming show in November.”

Peter Seresky, Nanco-Nancy Sales

"We always look forward to the IGES® sales experience where we meet and greet many of our thousands of specialty customers. The Sevierville show is always a great way to cap off the year with a boost in sales! The show staff has always accommodated our every need and have become good friends as well as business partners. Thank you for continuing this great event."

"It was great to be able to connect with you at the show and tell you first hand how thankful we are for all the hard work you put into organizing the show.  From a vendors standpoint, I can tell you it was well worth it!"

-- Marc St. Pierre, Exhibitor, Cool Jewels (R) By Phillips, Hallendale, FL

"The International Gift Exposition in the Smokies® was, yet again, a great success for The Petting Zoo! We were amazed at the buyer traffic the first several days... all the efforts IGES management put into securing qualified buyers for the show paid off! We were also very pleased to write business with a number of new first time buyers of Petting Zoo Product as well.

The value of this show is tremendous, and we see many buyers here that no longer feel the need to travel to other shows. Every detail is accounted for, from the welcome happy hour on the first day of the show to the delicious prime rib served at the show party. With IGES, we are truly at home."

-- Darwin C. Harder, Jr., Exhibitor, The Petting Zoo, Glen Burnie, MD

"As a company, Rhode Island Novelty does about 50 tradeshows a year.  By far the staff at M&M Gift has made the IGES Show the most enjoyable of all shows.  That being said, we have enjoyed increased sales year after year and the quality of buyers has been consistantly great.  M&M's Staff does a fabulous job of soliciting quality buyers to their IGES Show and that makes exhibitors like me very happy.  I know most of the buyers I deal with feel the same way as I do that the IGES Show is a superly run gift show.  Thanks again for another great show.  Looking forward to a great 2011 season."

        --John Fitzsimmons, Exhibitor, Rhode Island Novelty/Adventure Planet,Cumberland, RI

"The IGES continues to distinguish itself as one of the premier must see shows in our industry.  Each year we have not only increased our sales, but we have added valuable new customers at this show.  From start to finish, this show provides a professional, yet fun environment to socialize with a wide array of buyers from all over the country.  Plus we have had great success with the multiple opportunities to advertise our product lines at the show.  We look forward to this show every year and believe it will continue to grow.  We can't wait until next year!"

"IGES has become an essential show for Lantern Press.  At 5 days, it is longer than most nationally-reaching gift shows, which allows buyers and exhibitors alike the opportunity to be more thorough in their presentation and placement of orders, and the show just feels less rushed and more laid-back than some of the other shows we've done.  We always do incredible business at IGES, with some of the friendliest people in the industry.  The convention center is BEAUTIFUL, and has convenient on-site parking, a large and comfortable lobby area with a very helpful staff, and complimentary coffee to boot!  Nestled in the Smoky Mountains region of Tennessee, the natural setting is breathtaking and lodging is extremely affordable."

                                                                                            -- Aaron Morris, Exhibitor, Lantern Press, Seattle, WA

"Another successful IGES Show in the books for 2010.  Quality Buyers and more of them! And they are writing. Our clients continue to 'attend and spend' with us every year because they know where to find the best caps at the right price.  And no other show anywhere else comes close to taking care of their Buyers AND Exhibitors like the IGES Show.  It makes doing business easier and I certainly appreciate it."

“GREAT SHOW!!! Just tremendous. Thank you for making it possible for Squire Boone Village to have a record breaking show.  I am euphoric!!

Not only did we have an increase in sales over last year, but all your staff and your contractors made setting up and tearing down the most pleasant of any trade show in which we have participated in over 25 years. The Sevierville Convention Center is amazing with wide aisles, high ceilings, great lighting, huge parking lot, food court, and the connecting Wilderness Hotel.

I am SO GLAD we're exhibiting at IGES/SSS!!! I can't wait till next year.”
