February Trade Show Details

1. NY NOW Winter Market

Exhibit dates: January 31–February 2, 2027

Location: Javits Center, New York, NY

The market opens January 31 and continues into February.

NY NOW connects gift, home and lifestyle brands with retail buyers looking for new collections. It is useful for products that need to be handled, compared and ordered in person. Arrange samples by collection or retail use, and keep wholesale pricing and opening-order requirements available beside the products.

2. SLAS International Conference and Exhibition

Exhibit dates: February 1–3, 2027

Location: San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, CA

Conference: January 30–February 3.

Laboratory automation, screening tools and research technology are the focus at SLAS. Instrument suppliers and software companies meet scientists and laboratory teams assessing how systems fit existing workflows. A short sample-to-result demonstration is more useful than a long equipment tour; show where the instrument, software and operator each enter the process.

Explore SLAS International Conference and Exhibition booth planning →

3. The NGA Show

Exhibit dates: February 1–2, 2027

Location: MGM Grand Conference Center, Las Vegas, NV

Full event: January 31–February 2.

Independent grocery retailers visit The NGA Show to evaluate store technology, equipment, food products and operating services. The audience makes this a useful choice for suppliers serving regional chains and independent stores. Show how a product works in a grocery setting, with a clear example of the shelf, checkout or back-office task it supports.

4. TCEA Convention and Exposition

Exhibit dates: February 1–3, 2027

Location: Henry B. González Convention Center, San Antonio, TX

Full convention: January 31–February 3.

TCEA gives education technology suppliers access to educators, school leaders and district technology teams. Classroom hardware, instructional software and campus systems need different demonstrations, so choose the user and task before choosing the screen content. Let visitors try one realistic school workflow and explain the training or infrastructure needed to use it.

5. SPIE Photonics West

Exhibit dates: February 2–4, 2027

Location: Moscone Center, San Francisco, CA

These dates cover the main Photonics West exhibition.

Photonics West serves buyers and engineers working with lasers, optics, imaging and photonic components. It is a technical sourcing show where performance and system compatibility matter. Present the relevant specifications beside each component, and use a controlled demonstration to make optical performance visible without asking visitors to interpret a wall of claims.

6. The International Surface Event

Exhibit dates: February 2–4, 2027

Location: Mandalay Bay Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV

Education begins February 1.

Flooring, stone and tile suppliers meet retailers, fabricators, installers and designers at The International Surface Event. Buyers need to compare finish, texture and installation requirements as well as appearance. Give large samples enough viewing distance, and place technical information where visitors can read it while handling the material.

7. NAHB International Builders Show

Exhibit dates: February 2–4, 2027

Location: Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV

IBS covers residential construction products, building systems and services for builders and remodelers. A product display works best when it explains where the item sits in a home or construction sequence. Show the assembly, dimensions or installation detail that helps a builder judge whether it fits an upcoming project.

Explore NAHB International Builders Show booth planning →

8. KBIS

Exhibit dates: February 2–4, 2027

Location: Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV

The Kitchen and Bath Industry Show attracts designers, dealers, remodelers and other professionals sourcing fixtures, cabinetry, surfaces and appliances. Full-size applications help visitors compare proportions and finishes. Keep working demonstrations accessible and distinguish the finishes on display from the wider range available to order; KBIS and IBS remain separate shows despite their shared dates.

Explore KBIS booth planning →

9. MAGIC New York

Exhibit dates: February 7–9, 2027

Location: Javits Center, New York, NY

MAGIC New York focuses on fashion discovery and wholesale buying for retailers. Apparel and accessory brands need a collection that buyers can scan quickly and then inspect closely. Group pieces by delivery window or merchandising story, with size ranges, wholesale terms and order information ready for a more detailed conversation.

10. Medical Design and Manufacturing West

Exhibit dates: February 9–11, 2027

Location: Anaheim Convention Center, Anaheim, CA

Workshops and selected conference activities begin February 8.

MD&M West connects medical device and manufacturing teams with component, materials, automation and production suppliers. Buyers often arrive with a specific engineering problem rather than a broad interest in the brand. Pair sample parts with the process and tolerances they illustrate, and keep a technical specialist available for questions beyond the introductory demonstration.

11. World Ag Expo

Exhibit dates: February 9–11, 2027

Location: International Agri-Center, Tulare, CA

World Ag Expo combines agricultural equipment, technology and services with an audience that includes working producers and the public. It suits suppliers whose products benefit from being seen at full scale. Equipment access, ground conditions and viewing space deserve attention before graphics, especially where visitors need to inspect machinery from several sides.

12. National Farm Machinery Show

Exhibit dates: February 10–13, 2027

Location: Kentucky Exposition Center, Louisville, KY

Farm machinery, implements and agricultural technology draw producers, dealers and other visitors to this public-facing industry show. For equipment brands, the useful comparison is often capability, maintenance and fit with an existing fleet. Keep access to key working parts clear and identify the configuration being shown so buyers can make a meaningful comparison.

13. WWIN

Exhibit dates: February 15–17, 2027

Location: The Expo at World Market Center, Las Vegas, NV

WWIN is a wholesale buying event for apparel and accessories, with independent retail buyers comparing collections and placing orders. Make the range easy to shop by category, fit or delivery date. Sample racks should leave room for buyers to handle garments while a colleague reviews the line sheet or writes an order.

Explore WWIN booth planning →

14. WEST

Event dates: February 16–18, 2027

Location: San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, CA

WEST focuses on naval and maritime capabilities, including communications, networks, platforms and supporting technology. Suppliers meet military, government and industry professionals with specific operational questions. Use an approved mission scenario to explain the product, and separate a public demonstration from any discussion that requires controlled access or restricted information.

Explore WEST booth planning →

15. International Roofing Expo

Exhibit dates: February 16–18, 2027

Location: Las Vegas Convention Center, West Hall, Las Vegas, NV

Roofing and exterior construction suppliers reach contractors and distributors at IRE. Materials, fastening systems, tools and installation methods are easier to assess through practical examples. A roof assembly or small application station can show what changes on the jobsite, provided the demonstration stays within the show’s operating requirements.

16. MAGIC Las Vegas

Exhibit dates: February 16–18, 2027

Location: Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV

MAGIC Las Vegas is a fashion wholesale event for brands seeking retail distribution. Buyers need to understand the collection’s customer, price position and delivery calendar quickly. Give each range a clear visual boundary and keep order discussions close to the relevant samples, rather than sending buyers back and forth across the stand.

Explore MAGIC Las Vegas booth planning →

17. SOURCING by Informa Las Vegas

Exhibit dates: February 16–18, 2027

Location: Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV

Apparel sourcing teams visit to compare manufacturers, materials and production services. This is a different buying task from selecting finished collections: capability, minimum orders and production timing drive the conversation. Show representative samples with construction details and explain which processes your company performs directly and which involve production partners.

18. OFFPRICE

Exhibit dates: February 16–18, 2027

Location: Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV

OFFPRICE connects retail buyers with apparel, footwear and accessories offered through value and off-price channels. Available inventory and buying terms are central to the sale. Keep quantities, assortments and delivery information close to the merchandise so visitors can judge whether an offer works for their stores without a lengthy introductory presentation.

19. NADA Show

Exhibit dates: February 18–20, 2027

Location: Orange County Convention Center, West Building, Orlando, FL

Full event: February 17–20.

Automotive dealership owners and managers use NADA Show to assess software, equipment and services across sales, service and operations. A dealership workflow is a useful starting point for a demonstration. Show how information moves between staff or departments, and have someone ready to answer integration and implementation questions after the initial walkthrough.

20. Western Pool and Spa Show

Exhibit dates: February 18–20, 2027

Location: Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center, Long Beach, CA

Pool builders, service professionals and retailers compare equipment, maintenance products and supplies at this regional trade show. Components need to be easy to inspect, especially where installation or servicing is the selling point. A cutaway, connection diagram or accessible working unit can explain the practical difference more clearly than a lifestyle image alone.

21. Toy Fair

Exhibit dates: February 20–23, 2027

Location: Javits Center, New York, NY

Toy Fair puts toys, games and play products in front of retail buyers and industry partners. The demonstration should make the age range, play pattern and retail package understandable within a short visit. Keep product trials separate from order discussions, and show the packaging buyers will actually receive alongside any loose demonstration samples.

22. Chicago Dental Society Midwinter Meeting

Exhibit dates: February 25–27, 2027

Location: McCormick Place, West Building, Chicago, IL

Dental clinicians and practice teams attend the Midwinter Meeting to explore instruments, equipment, materials and practice technology. Product evaluation often requires a close view or hands-on trial. Arrange the demonstration around one clinical or office task, and provide clear product information without implying that a brief booth trial establishes clinical suitability.

23. Orgill Dealer Market

Market dates: February 25–27, 2027

Location: Orange County Convention Center, Orlando, FL

Orgill’s dealer market serves hardware and home improvement retailers evaluating merchandise and store programs. It suits vendors that can connect a product range to shelf space and purchasing decisions. Use a realistic merchandising arrangement, with assortment choices and ordering details nearby, so dealers can see how the range would work in their own store.

Cross-Month Dates to Know

NY NOW opens January 31 and continues through February 2. SLAS, The NGA Show and TCEA begin their wider programs in January, but their listed exhibition days fall in February. Use the exhibition dates when scheduling booth coverage.

Planning for February Shows

  • Early-month overlaps. IBS, KBIS and TISE share February 2–4 in Las Vegas. A shared city does not remove the need for separate staff, equipment and venue schedules.

  • Mid-month staffing. Fashion buying events, the International Roofing Expo and WEST overlap during February 16–18. Confirm which team and product samples each event needs before committing to more than one.

  • Different buying formats. Wholesale apparel markets, technical exhibitions and public-facing agricultural shows require different visitor qualification and demonstration approaches.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which February shows are most relevant to building product suppliers?

IBS serves residential building and remodeling, KBIS focuses on kitchens and bathrooms, TISE covers surfaces, and the International Roofing Expo addresses roofing and exteriors. Choose according to the product application and the buyers you need to reach.

Are IBS and KBIS counted as one show?

No. They are separate events with distinct product focuses, even though both take place February 2–4 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The calendar lists each independently so exhibitors can compare their relevance.

Which February events are useful for retail brands?

NY NOW, MAGIC, WWIN, OFFPRICE and Toy Fair serve different retail categories and buying needs. Finished collections, off-price inventory and manufacturing services are not interchangeable offers; match the event to what you are selling and how buyers place orders.

Do the listed dates include conference sessions?

Where the exhibition schedule is confirmed, the main date line shows exhibit days. Event dates identifies a broader confirmed event period. Supporting notes distinguish education or other activities when those dates differ from the exhibition.

Can one exhibit be reused for two February shows?

Check both move-out and next-show move-in schedules before planning reuse. Several major events overlap, including shows in the same city. Confirm transport time, product access and graphic changes before assigning the same physical exhibit to both.
