THE CALIFORNIA GIFT SHOW

HOW THE WEST IS WON
Urban Expositions seized the opportunity to acquire the California Gift Show in 2013 to accelerate efforts to rebuild the Southern California gift market’s brand as a leading trend, product and style resource.  We have and will continue to pour significant resources into bringing a fresh, vibrant show to the region’s substantial buyer base. And it's working.

The new, improved show is builidng momentum and the synergistic opportunities that exist with neighboring permanent showroom buildings is just another plus! Make plans now to join us!
