CHAMPS Trade Shows is the premier business-to-business counterculture expo in the United States, running since 1999. Each year it brings hundreds of exhibitors face to face with thousands of retail and wholesale buyers from across the country and around the world, in major cities nationwide.
The Las Vegas Summer edition is the flagship stop on the CHAMPS calendar. Exhibitors include manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, glass artists, inventors, and suppliers showcasing a large selection of smoking accessories, counterculture products, apparel, hand-blown glass, and specialty gifts. It is an order-writing show built for retail buyers who want to source new products and connect directly with suppliers.

Valid government-issued photo ID is required for entry, and no attendees under 21 are permitted under any circumstances, including infants and children.
