About Us

CHAMPS TRADE SHOWS has established itself as the premier counter-culture, business-to-business trade expo serving the smoke shop industry.

Since 1999, hundreds of exhibitors meet across the country each year face-to-face with thousands of retail and wholesale buyers from all over the world at CHAMPS Trade Shows.

CHAMPS hosts trade shows annually, in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, Denver, Orlando, and Chicago.

CHAMPS exhibitors include manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, glass artists, inventors, and suppliers who showcase a massive selection of smoking accessories, counter-culture products, clothing, hand-blown glass, and other specialty gifts.

At each show, CHAMPS stages the CHAMPS GLASS GAMES™, a world-renowned glassblowing competition.

CHAMPS GLASS GAMES™ features the talents of elite artists who compete in live glass blowing events vying to win cash, prizes, and bragging rights. CHAMPS GLASS GAMES™ was inspired by Matty White, an acclaimed Oregon-based glass artist who manages MW Studios.

For twenty years, CHAMPS partners Jeff Hirschfeld and the recently passed Peter Gage have taken great strides to forge successful business relationships with thousands of clients across a broad spectrum. CHAMPS is far more than just business as CHAMPS embodies the principles of fairness, consistency, and quality while maintaining a level of honesty and integrity that our friends and associates have come to expect.
We get bigger and better every year. We look forward to seeing you at our next show!
