Thousands of members. Endless branded merch. One unforgettable Expo.
In this special episode of Promo Perspectives, host Nicole Cook leans into the heart of the podcast’s name by bringing you real perspectives from across the promotional products industry following the largest trade show of the year, PPAI Expo in Las Vegas.
Rather than offering a single recap, Nicole gathers voices from every angle of the show floor, including suppliers, organizers, first-time attendees, industry veterans, and members of the SAGE team, to answer one simple question:
How would you describe your time at Expo?
You will hear from:
-

-
Josh Ellis of PPAI on the unexpected networking moments that make Expo special
-
Renee Ward on what it takes to execute an event of this scale
-
Megan Dean’s first-time Expo impressions and her perfect social caption
From experiential merchandise and product innovation to meaningful connections and after-hours networking, this episode captures the energy, momentum, and community that define Expo 2026.
Whether you attended in person or followed from afar, this recap delivers insights, trends, and perspectives you will not want to miss.
