PPAI Expo Vegas 2026
PromoStandards attended PPAI Expo as an exhibitor for the first time in January 2026. In addition to having a prize wheel with awards such as gift cards and free drink passes, we had many conversations with both current prospective members of the organization. Lots of attendees stopped to tell us that they had heard of PromoStandards, but wanted to know more. We believe the community engagement was beneficial for all parties involved, and look forward to attending more events in the future. We were also proud to sponsor the Tech Meetup happy hour at Promo & Pints on Wednseday, which brought a wide variety of new and familiar faces together. We would like to thank PPAI for the opportunity to be sponsors and engage further with the Promotional Products Industry!
