Portable Trade Show

Which are the best camping, atv, motorcycle trade shows to gather leads for a new business?

I am planning to start a business to cater to ATV, motorbike, camping enthusiasts, and would like to visit a trade show for these industries. Which shows are the biggest, most popular, and happening sometime near, in the US?

Public Comments

1. Well, Syracuse New York is having a show this weekend at the fairgrounds.
2. For cyclist you might be better off at large rallies, like the Goldwing, Harley, and BMW meets and Sturgis/Black Hills Rally and Bike Week in Daytona.
3. The best place to start is with Dealer News magazine, and the Dealer News Powersports Expo by Advanstar. The show is held each year during the early part of February in Indianapolis, Ind. You just missed this years, and man was it a hoot! You have to be a dealer, or a guest of a dealer to attend as it is not open to the public. But getting the credentials as a prospective business owner and entrance into the show isn't that difficult. Check out the following links and if you have any questions send me an email. I'll be glad to assist. http://www.dealernews.com/dealernews/ http://www.dealerexpo.com/dealerexpo/v42/index.cvn
