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.
