WHAT IS SIA?
For more than 50 years, SnowSports Industries America (SIA), the industry's non-profit, member-owned trade association, has worked with our members to make the Show a one-of-a-kind selling and networking opportunity.
WHY SHOULD I EXHIBIT?
The Snow Show gathers all the key players in the snow sports category. The addition of a targeted supplier show makes it the largest and most concentrated trade event in the industry — a one-stop for sourcing companies and buyers. And bonus: over 1,000 media personnel including endemic and non-endemic publications, bloggers and freelancers attend looking for stories, trends and leads.
WHY SHOULD I ATTEND?
Sourcing Snow + the SIA Snow Show create a one-stop shop for the snow sports industry offering an experience unique to all things snow. Designers, textile experts and production professionals can meet face to face with raw materials leaders to streamline their buying process before heading into the Snow Show. With onsite seminars, receptions and the Sourcing Snow Directory, the industry can exchange ideas and textile inspirations under one roof.
Key Raw Materials for Sourcing Snow:
Insulation | Zippers/Closure Systems | Fabric/Textiles | Straps/Webbing | High Tech Components | OEM Facilities/Factories |
