Everything You Need to Feel Confident + Ready Before You Arrive

WWIN and The Men’s Edit are just around the corner, and whether it’s your first time or you’re a seasoned attendee, a little prep goes a long way. From what to bring to how to make the most of every connection, this checklist has you covered—whether you're a buyer or an exhibitor.

✅ Must-Haves for Everyone

✔ Show Registration Confirmation
Have your barcode or confirmation email ready. It’ll make badge pickup quick and seamless.

✔ Hotel & Transportation Info
Know your check-in time and double-check shuttle routes. WWIN offers complimentary shuttles and Lyft codes for easy access to and from The Expo at World Market Center Las Vegas.

✔ Business Cards & Digital Contact Tools
Bring physical business cards—but also prep a digital version or QR code linking to your social, website, or line sheet.

✔ Fully Charged Phone + Power Bank
Stay ready to take notes, photos, or connect with new contacts without worrying about battery life.

✔ Comfortable Yet Stylish Shoes
The entire show is on one floor, but you’ll still be on your feet most of the day. Pack shoes that can keep up with you.

✔ Buying Plan & Budget Notes
Jot down your must-shop categories, price ranges, and open-to-buy amounts so you can make quick, informed decisions.

✔ List of Exhibitors You Want to Visit
Map out a route or shortlist brands you’ve seen on social, in emails, or on the WWIN website.

✔ Tote or Backpack for Materials
You’ll collect lookbooks, swatches, and line sheets—be ready to carry them in something sturdy (and stylish).

✔ Wishlist for Next Season
Keep your future customer in mind. Are they asking for new color palettes? Sustainable options? Extended sizing? You’ll spot it faster with a list in hand.

✔ Line Sheets, Pricing, & Samples
Have multiple copies of your line sheet and an easy way to walk buyers through your assortment.

✔ Your “Elevator Pitch”
Be ready to quickly tell buyers who you are, what makes your brand stand out, and what categories you serve best.

✔ Booth Display Toolkit
Don’t forget: scissors, tape, safety pins, portable steamer, extension cord—whatever you need to keep your booth polished and ready.

✔ Show Specials or Incentives
If you're offering show-only pricing or order minimum deals, have signage and talking points ready.

• Follow WWIN & TME on social before the show to catch last-minute announcements and exhibitor spotlights.

• Plan your meals + breaks. There are lounges and food options on-site, but scheduling quick breaks will help you stay energized.

• Keep a notes app or small notebook on hand. Jot down booth numbers, standout products, or follow-up reminders—you’ll thank yourself later.

A smooth, productive trade show starts with a little prep—and ends with stronger relationships, smarter buys, and inspiration to fuel your season ahead.

We can’t wait to see you on the show floor. Until then, pack smart, stay curious, and get excited.
