The Big Gear Show has canceled its inaugural event, originally slated for July 22-25 in Salt Lake City. Set to serve the paddling, cycling, climbing and camping markets with a retailer-minded, low-cost trade show, BGS is postponing its first show to Aug. 3-5, 2021. “Now’s definitely the time to reconsider ‘business as usual.’ We hope that brands will continue welcoming an alternative show like ours that allows them to meet with their specialty customers and effectively demo and launch new products for a fraction of the cost of traditional shows,” show founder Sutton Bacon said in a release.

The PGA Fashion & Demo Experience trade event, scheduled for Aug. 18-19 in Las Vegas, is being shifted to a series of digital programs for buyers and exhibitors starting in June and continuing until the end of 2020 ahead of the 2021 PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando slated for Jan. 26-29, 2021. Additionally, show organizer Reed Exhibitions is making a contribution on behalf of PGA Shows to the Golf Emergency Relief Fund that was established to provide short-term assistance to golf industry workers.
