Known as the largest regional show in the country, the show draws a growing audience of retailers from one of the most powerful buying regions in the country. The January 2011 Philadelphia Gift Show will return home to The Greater Philadelphia Expo Center, conveniently located in the King of Prussia area. As the largest expo center in the suburban Philadelphia Metro area, the New Greater Philadelphia Expo Center provides the perfect replacement for the Ft.

The Greater Philadelphia Expo Center is a non-union facility on ONE LEVEL. Offering a floorplan that is a breeze for buyers to work and find new resources quickly, the single level also promises easy move in and move out for you.
In addition to the convenient location, these retialers will be drawn, as they have been for years, to the show's tremendous selection. And this year, we have even more new products and special sections for buyers to shop, including: Birdwatch America East, a nature products show coinciding with the Philadelphia Gift Show as well as the new Candy & Gourmet, Home Accents and Handmade sections.
Because of the show's reputation as casual, relaxed and comfortable, retailers spend days shopping aisles, meeting with their sales representatives, taking advantage of free educational seminars, unwinding at free show parties and more. Because the show is supported by the region's top sales agencies, up-and-cominig companies and established national manufacturers, retailers know they'll find everything they need!
