Traders Market is just around the corner, returning November 5–7 in Kansas City, Missouri, and this year’s event is shaping up to be better than ever.

More Time to Connect
We heard your feedback, and we’re delivering: this year, Traders Market offers 12 full hours of tradeshow floor time—that’s four additional hours of dedicated time to explore new products, meet with exhibitors and build relationships that can take your business further.
The opportunities to connect don’t stop there! From a brand-new biergarten and engaging experiences on the show floor to a lively welcome party and lunch on the tradeshow floor, this year’s event is packed with chances to meet new faces and reconnect with old friends in a relaxed, informal setting.
A City That Adds to the Experience
Known for its charm, hospitality and unmistakable flavor, Kansas City offers the perfect backdrop for building business and having fun while doing it.
When the tradeshow floor closes for the day, the networking continues at some of the city’s most iconic spots. Grab a plate of world-famous barbecue at local favorites like Q39 or Joe’s KC BBQ, or raise a glass with colleagues at breweries like Boulevard Brewing Company or Casual Animal Brewing Co.
The city’s walkable downtown and friendly vibe make it easy to keep conversations going long after the day’s events end.
