The 2015 ABC Kids Expo, hosted by All Baby and Child Corporation, will take place at the Las Vegas Convention Center from October 18 to 21. The expo is the largest trade event in the Western Hemisphere for the baby and juvenile category, and ranks as the 47th largest expo in North America regardless of industry. The event draws nearly 15,000 people each year from around the world and occupies approximately one million feet of exhibit space.
For manufacturers, the ABC Kids Expo provides an annual platform to unveil new products and product line extensions in front of independent retailers, as well as online and mass retail buyers. The show also gives entrepreneurs and inventors an opportunity to introduce new ideas and products to the industry at large.
ABC Kids Expo will once again partner with the Juvenile Product Manufacturers Association (JPMA) for the innovation awards competition. On average, JPMA receives more than 100 submissions from among expo exhibitors for the awards.
This year, All Baby & Child Corporation will be introducing a new scholarship program, consisting of six educational scholarships benefiting children of specialty store retailers, industry manufacturers, and their employees. The two $3,000 and four $1,000 scholarships will be in the names of Gene Francis and Mike Schaffer, who were instrumental in the development of the expo.
