“GREAT SHOW!!! Just tremendous. Thank you for making it possible for Squire Boone Village to have a record breaking show. Without two shows for buyers to work in one trip this year, I would have been ecstatic just to break even with last year. With an increase in sales breaking our old record set in Gatlinburg last year, 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 decided to exhibit at IGES/SSS this year!!! I can't wait till next year.”

- Rick Conway, Squire Boone Village/Bloom Brothers, Exhibitor

“No other show compares to the IGES! We exhibit all over the country and no other management group provides the personal attention and customer service like M&M Gift. Not only does the staff know us by name, but they are truly concerned with our business and how the show contributes to our company. We always have a great show! They should definitely add a few more shows to their calendar, and we will be there!”

- Katie Rahmer, The Naked Bee, Exhibitor

“It was also our BEST SHOW EVER. Surprised the heck out of us. We thought with the split show we would be happy to do close to what we did last year. We had a 50% increase over last year. Whatever you did KEEP IT UP.”

-Mel Feasel, The Prairie Schooner, Exhibitor

“We had a wonderful show this year! We were up 105% from last year, this is a true number. You guys all do a great job treating our customers great and they really like coming to your show.”

- Jason Sharp, Trippies, Exhibitor

“Once again the IGES show in November did not disappoint! With what turned out to be a record show for us at Wilcor, there was little more we could have asked for out of a show. With our largest staff of salespeople in attendance we had no idle time! We were writing orders, and opening new business relationships every minute of the show! Whatever the staff and owners of IGES have done to make this show such a success, keep it up! Thank you”

- David Corrigan, Wilcor Outdoors, Exhibitor

“We loved the location, our customers loved our new location. We had a great show. The ease of getting in and out was nice, everyone was friendly. We will continue to help grow IGES to keep it as the # 1 show in the souvenir industry.”

- Taft B. Flittner, Options, Exhibitor

“We had a wonderful experience at the IGES show. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The facility is great. Also the show is buyer and exhibitor friendly. Looking forward to next year. Thank you!”

- Aileen King, Mid South Products, Exhibitor

“We're glad we moved...our 1st show with IGES was a resounding success! Our sales were more than double our best Gatlinburg show. The all in one facility is great; show management is very welcoming and professional to both buyers and exhibitors. IGES is our new "Home in the Smokies". With more quality buyers and exhibitors, IGES in Sevierville is the future in the Smokies.”

- Ian Storrs, A.T. Storrs, Exhibitor

“Play Visions exhibits in 25 trade shows each year, I must say that the IGES show was one of the easiest shows to exhibit in. I found that signing up, shipping product, hotel convenience, (plus a small rebate), sponsored events & parking were all positive. Play Visions has decided to increase our booth footprint for next year to 4 booths and that process was very easy. I want to thank you for the great opportunity that IGES has made available to the vendors and customers.”
