Can we please go outside to play?

Next summer, The Big Gear Show is moving up the mountain to Park City. The right brands, the right place, the right time. Join us August 3-5, 2021 for America's first open-air tradeshow.

WHAT IS THE BIG GEAR SHOW?

See, Try, Buy - All at Once

The Big Gear Show is an invitation-only, multi-category trade event for the paddlesports, cycling, climbing, and camping markets. We are solely focused on meeting the needs of outdoor shops and gear builders. The demo is fully integrated into the event, so buyers get to paddle, ride bikes, and test gear all day. There is simply no better place to discover new brands and products.

The 500 Best Retailers

We are hosting the top outdoor gear and bike shops from across North America. Attendance is limited to 500 shops. We even subsidize your travel.

The Brands They Want to See

The Big Gear Show is limited to only 250 exhibitors - hand-selected by us and voted on by the retailers. Maximum engagement, minimal distraction.

Don't take it from us...

Here's What Retailers are Saying

"Grassroots fully supports The Big Gear Show as our official paddlesports buying show. The unique demo-centric format of the show allows our members to see, feel, and test gear in a way that allows them to be strategic in times of unprecedented demand and challenges that our retailers face."

"The NBDA and our 600 members proudly endorse The Big Gear Show, the only national tradeshow for the cycling industry. The Big Gear Show team clearly sees the importance of specialty retailers by providing us with an exciting experiential buying and educational event. This B2B format is long overdue and we now feel we have the perfect partner going forward."

LAUNCHING AUGUST 3-5, 2021 IN PARK CITY

ABOUT PARK CITY AND DEER VALLEY RESORT

An Outdoor Paradise

Park City is an outdoor paradise in the summer. It is home to some of the most beautiful lakes and rivers, pristine hiking trails and vistas, and legendary road and mountain biking in North America. The event will take place at Deer Valley Resort. This is a place retailers and brand teams want to go for vacation – so we decided to bring the show to a place that we’re all excited about.

Easy Airport Access

Getting to Park City is super easy. It’s located just 40 minutes from the Salt Lake City International Airport. Take a shuttle, Uber, or rent a car for the quick drive to Park City.

Perfect Weather

Suprisingly Affordable

Park City may be home to the rich and famous in the winter – but in the height of the offseason, we’ll have the mountains, trails, and nightlife to ourselves.
