A Business-to-Business show focusing on Wholesale to Specialty Retail

 Cascade Summit Show is dedicated to small brands in the outdoors space with less than $5 million in annual revenue. The purpose of the show is to connect emerging brands with specialty retailers, creating long-lasting relationships that will help brands expand their market reach.  With simple décor and layout, the focus of this show is on the brand's product offering and the people helping disrupt the out marketplace 



4 Days of Events

The Cascade Summit Show will take place February 2nd-6th, in Portland, OR.  The show will feature hundreds of small and emerging brands, connecting them with specialty retailers.  Social events for industry, media exposure, and a dedicated Direct to Consumer day on February 6th, to help provide additional exposure and allow exhibitors a chance to sell products if they like, to help recoup some of the costs.


 

Location

The show will take place in a former manufacturing warehouse in NW Portland that has been remodeled for events and shared workspace.  Unlike other outdoor-focused trade shows, our simple setting and aesthetics provided the perfect backdrop for the brands exhibiting.  This space also allows us to avoid additional costs typically associated with shows, such as 3rd party exhibitor services and required move-in and move-out services.


Premier Gear & Machine Works Building

1715 NW 17th Ave, Portland, OR 97209
