Viva Las Louisville, Derby City has been selected to host EXHIBITORLIVE — one of the largest exposition industry trade shows on the continent — at the Kentucky International Convention Center Sun., April 23-Wed., April 26, 2023.
The trade show has been held in Las Vegas for the last 30+ years, but with its relocation to Louisville next year, it will generate an estimated $3.35 million for the local economy + attract 5,000 industry attendees.
EXHIBITORLIVE provides specialized training and knowledge for trade show and corporate event marketers + will host informational sessions ranging from smart menu planning to a half-day workshop and field trip to the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory — to gain inspiration from America’s favorite pastime.
The 502 will be a hot destination for other exhibiting groups in the next few years, as the African American Golf Expo will be teeing off August 18-23 + Valhalla Golf Club will host the 2024 PGA Championship as well.
THE WRAP
Today’s issue was written by City Editor Sarah.
Editor’s pick: Though it’s already overstayed its welcome, the warm weather might finally be ending this weekend as a cold front will be moving in — dropping temps to the 40s on Saturday.
Bundle up in some warm LOU apparel from our Six & Main shop. I’m particularly loving this beanie.
