About the show
Built for event and meeting professionals
The Northwest Event Show is the in-person trade show and conference for event and meeting professionals in the Pacific Northwest. For more than three decades it has been where planners, venues, suppliers and creatives meet face to face, swap ideas and find the partners behind their next event.
Whether you plan corporate meetings, run a venue, produce weddings and galas or supply the industry, you'll leave with new skills, fresh inspiration and contacts you can call on all year.
