Hi,

Are there any major tradeshows in the US that cover a broad range of products? Or is it best to visit niche type events?

In any case, can someone provide me with some links for some major 'must visit' events for a new commer?

(if drop shippers are there even better)

Well there is CES (Consumer Electronic Show) in Vegas every January. I usually attend that one & meet some very interesting people. For example, last year, I saw Bill Gates and bumped into Tommy Lee. A wide range of people attend that one and this January it will be pretty large - being in both the Sands Expo and the LV Convention Center.

We used to visit COMDEX in Vegas every year. Great show, but unfortunately they got a big hit because of 9/11 in 2001 and the organizing party stopped the show in 2004 as far as I know. I am not sure if they have already decided to restart the exhibition.

Anyway, I really liked the show and the location! ;)
