Lowell Carhart and Don Olstinske have produced heavily advertised major events across the United States that are well worth your time to attend or vend. The Milwaukee Show is the largest gem show of its kind within a 988 mile radius.

Unbeatable Location
This colossal new show is just 10 minutes from Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport and one hour north of Chicago O’Hare International Airport. It takes place in the just-completed $465 million expansion of the Baird Center in downtown Milwaukee. It boasts 300,000 sqft of selling space that will allow us to grow to 1,400 booths. Our low booth fee is quickly filling the venue and this huge event will soon become a “must attend” show that will attract vendors from across the globe.
Highly Attended Event
Our events are the most-attended shows in their regions. The Milwaukee Show will reach 100,000 customers who attended similar shows in the ‘old’ Baird Center (when it was named the Wisconsin Center) during the last eight years. Between that outreach to former attendees and our staggeringly huge billboard campaign reaching into Chicago, we expect a 20,000 - 25,000 attendance for our first year.
Our Philosophy
Our business philosophy remains the same as always: advertise on a massive scale, offer exhibitors the lowest booth fee (measured as ‘cost per customer’), do it at the largest / best venue, and invest profits back into the show to continuously improve for the benefit of all stakeholders. As former exhibitors ourselves, we know what it takes to support your success.
We thank you for your interest in our show. Come grow with us.
