5 Must-Pack Essentials for Trade Show Success at WWIN/TME

Whether you’re a buyer searching for your next best-seller or an exhibitor ready to showcase your latest collection, showing up prepared makes all the difference. At WWIN and The Men’s Edit, the energy is high, the opportunities are big—and what you pack can help you maximize every moment.
Here are five essentials every attendee should have on hand for a successful show in Las Vegas:
- 🔌 Power Bank + Charging Cables
From snapping product photos to exchanging contact info or checking your appointment schedule, your devices will be working overtime. A portable power bank ensures you stay charged and connected throughout the day.
Buyers: Use your device to track products you love or follow up with reps after the show.
Exhibitors: Stay ready to show digital line sheets or accept orders on the go.
- 🗂 Business Cards & QR Codes
Even in a digital world, business cards are still a key part of trade show culture. A simple handoff can lead to a lasting connection—and make follow-up easier for everyone.
Buyers: Include your preferred follow-up method (email, DMs, showroom info).
Exhibitors: Add QR codes linking to your catalog, social, or lookbook to make a lasting impression.
- 👟 Stylish, Supportive Shoes
WWIN/TME is thoughtfully laid out—everything’s on one floor!—but you’ll still rack up steps as you explore. Comfortable, polished shoes are a must.
Everyone: Look for footwear that balances all-day support with brand-appropriate style. You never know when a conversation could lead to something big!
- 📋 Materials That Make It Easy
Whether you’re buying or selling, coming prepared with the right materials ensures smoother interactions and better results.
Buyers: Bring your buying plan or budget info so you can act decisively when you find something great.
Exhibitors: Have printed line sheets, pricing, and product highlights ready—both in print and digitally—to help buyers navigate your line efficiently.
- ✨ The Right Mindset
The most powerful thing you can pack? A positive, open mindset. Trade shows are about building relationships, discovering opportunities, and learning from others.
Everyone: Stay curious, stay approachable, and don’t underestimate the power of a good conversation—in a booth, in the lounge, or over a cup of coffee.
