Welcome to KNOW?SHOW

Canada's Premier Lifestyle Tradeshow!

This indeed may seem like a bold statement but it’s one we continually work hard to ensure holds true on all accounts. Offering bi-annual shows each year in Vancouver, KNOW?SHOW is Canada's ultimate sales and networking tool catering to hand picked brands in the Action Sports and Fashion industries.

Originally established in 2006 by Ben Couves, Nick Brown and Perry Pugh, KNOW?SHOW first opened its doors with the objective of bringing together Western Canada’s top retailers with the best in industry leading Action Sports and Lifestyle brands. Mimicking the format of some of the worlds largest apparel tradeshows, KNOW?SHOW put their own unique twist on the open format tradeshow and introduced Canada to its first tradeshow to focus in on a very specific demographic. The key demographic reached represents everything that is cool in todays action sports and fashion cultures and KNOW?SHOW continues to bring this formula to the Canadian market show after show.

With over 200 industry leading Action Sports and Lifestyle brands represented at KNOW?SHOW it’s easy to understand why every key retailer makes a point to attend the show each season! Over 2000 members of the retail community attended the show last year and the number continues to grow each season.

Great buildings, open booth concepts, a clean layout, central lounge with bar, live installations using featured artists, on site entertainment and guest Djs are just a few of the ways KNOW?SHOW has avoided the standard “shoebox” tradeshow stigma.
