About the expo

Together let's focus on the future while we navigate the present.

This is an unsettling time for all of us and especially small business owners like yourself. It is our hope that IndieMe can be a partner with you as you look for ways to keep moving forward towards the future. We are excited to have you join us for our third IndieMe Marketplace Virtual Expo!

We know wholesale, having been at this for over 23 years. We know virtual, as that is all we have been, and we know trade shows, having produced and managed over 20 physical trade shows. So as an alternative to physical trade shows we are ready to introduce a virtual expo where Buyers and Artists can attend from the comfort of their homes, saving them money and the time involved preparing for and attending a physical trade show.

Our first annual Artist Contest has concluded. Check out the winners here. So much talent on the IndieMe Marketplace!

What our Members Are Saying

I just wanted to say a heartfelt thanks for all the work you have put into the Virtual Market. I was so pleased with all my orders and the new reaches for my work. It really brought a lot of enthusiasm and hope for my business. The fact that you have been so innovative in moving to a virtual show platform has thoroughly impressed me during these trying times when bright ideas are the only thing that keeps progress moving forward.

Just a note to tell you that I am thankful for the opportunity to buy from you on Indieme.com. Where else would someone like me, a small shop owner, be able to shop for unique products for my gallery, especially during COVID?

TammieGallery Owner, Cedarburg, WI

I'm truly grateful for all the 2020 orders! Many came through IndieMe. The virtual shows were a real boost for me. The new stats page was very helpful in seeing just how important IndieMe is to my business. Thank you on every level! I've already received my first order from the Expo and it hasn't even begun yet!

In all honesty, I did better here at this expo than I’ve done at the Chicago (Beckman’s and Roseville- when they had those) gift shows, Minneapolis, Seattle or Atlanta. Lol! I’m just thrilled. Thanks!

AliciaArtist, Oreb Lram Fine Casual Jewelry, Ashland, WI

The Expo turned out to be great for me. Many new accounts and very enthusiastic buyers. It’s like being back to normal. Great to be working in my studio as orders come in rather that sitting at a trade show.

EbbaArtist, Glass Fire Jewelry and More, Bellingham, WA

The Virtual Expo is an amazing idea. I say yes, yes, yes! I love walking the shows but this is a great addition to the summer lineup. Just what the industry needs, especially now. Thank you IndieMe for filling a need in the industry...and filling it well!

SusanGallery Owner, Columbus, OH

Such a fabulous opportunity to connect with buyers that would not have discovered my brand without the Virtual Expo! I’m excited to offer specials to help increase profit margins for my retail partners during this time and looking forward to cultivating new partnerships! All I can say is I’m so excited & very grateful to IndieMe to allow me to attend a trade show from the comfort of my home.

SandraArtist, LITVA'S Jewelry, Springfield, MO

The Virtual Expo is a brilliant idea. I stopped attending physical trade shows because of the cost. Now I get to enjoy all the perks from my couch. Way to go IndieMe!
