IGES was founded in 1999 and is one of America’s most popular resort, souvenir, and specialty gift trade exhibitions. IGES is more than just a trade fair; it’s a vacation and a work trip together. IGES is held every November in the magnificent Smoky Mountains of Pigeon Forge and Sevierville, Tennessee. Product categories include apparel and accessories, decorative accessories, souvenirs, and beachwear.
