The Upstate Sports (formerly Adirondack Sports) Winter Expo made a successful return in 2022 and gowth in 2023 and 2024 with a “great, super organized show!” at a “very nice venue.” We had a “great turnout” of active adults and families – “lots of skiers.” Exhibitors were “very happy” with the “great flow” and “steady traffic all weekend,” and the “high-quality, interested” crowd. Attendees liked the “perfect mix of vendors,” and everyone appreciated free admission and free convenient parking – “a huge plus.” As a ski shop owner said, “it’s great to have the show back,” and a ski resort operator added, “great job keeping it alive!” According to the evaluations, all exhibitors plan to be back.

We look forward to continuing to grow the Winter Expo in size, interactivity, and variety of vendors in 2026 - we look forward to seeing you in October 24-25, 2026 at the Saratoga Springs City Center!

Our top priority is making sure you have a successful show, but getting the most out of the event has more to do with YOU

Pre-Show Promotion

We all know a vibrant crowd at the expo equates to a successful show. We set the stage by securing the best venue, adding a great mix of exhibitors, and extensive advertising and promotion. But we need your help to maximize our reach! 

Here’s what we encourage you to do before the show:

Advertise your presence at the show in any print ads or social media posts. Use one of our publicity images to help in your promotions at:
UpstateSports.fun/winter-expo-exhibitors

Share the Adirondack Sports Expos Facebook page on your Facebook page: facebook.com/AdkSportsExpos or our Instagram page: instagram.com/AdkSportsExpos

Booth Design

The objective of all booth design should be to grab the attention of attendees. The design of your booth will reflect directly the image of your business, organization, product or service. You have five seconds to make an impression as a visitor walks by.

Your booth should differentiate you from other exhibitors and demonstrate your unique position. Make sure people coming to your booth can experience your product or service. Let them try, touch, see, hear or taste. A call to action can help you achieve your goal; something to inspire interaction between show attendees and your staff.

Design your booth with a focus - from the visitor’s perspective. This is how they will scan the booth to determine if they should stop.

Interactivity and creativity are encouraged. 

Booth Staffing

Your booth staff’s attitude will be the number one factor in the success of your participation as an exhibitor. Have the most positive, approachable and outgoing people staff your booth. 

Be sure your staff is qualified to answer all important questions about your organization.
