Navigating the Calendar

There are three types of events at Expo: Public Events, Private Events, and Trade Shows.

Private Events are invitation-only; Trade Shows are geared towards members of a particular industry; and Public Events are open to everyone. Each event has its own ticketing and attendance policies, and we encourage you to explore each event’s website to find out how to attend. Please note, we do not sell event tickets through this website.

As you explore our Calendar, you will find basic information about each event, provided by the event itself. Since last-minute changes do happen, if you find a discrepancy between our description and the one you find on the event’s website, please contact the event organizer for clarification. 

Buying Tickets

While Expo hosts events, we do not handle ticket sales. Each event organizer determines how tickets are sold for their event.

You can usually buy tickets directly on the individual event’s website and typically at the door. Check out the event’s website for details—each event’s ticketing information is conveniently linked from its event listing on our Calendar.

You can keep in touch with us on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter, or you can sign up for our Newsletter.
