It is a historic partnership between independent specialty stores and the manufacturers who support them. Our united goal is to promote the continued growth and prosperity of independent retailers and manufacturers in the juvenile products industry. Its objective is to produce trade shows and events that enable ABC to fund critical needs in the industry, provide educational opportunities to industry constituents and grant assistance to worthy charitable organizations, while always protecting the financial health of the trade show. Since 2003, ABC and its exhibitor partners have contributed millions of dollars in funding and in-kind product donations to charities that work for the health and welfare of children. We are major supporters of First Candle, Kids in Distressed Situations (K.I.D.S.), and Cribs for Kids, among others. In recognition of its support, commitment and partnership within the philanthropic community, ABC was named the 2010 First Candle Honoree. Oct. 21 - 23 ** Please note that no children under age 16 are not permitted in the Las Vegas Convention Center exhibit and concourse areas during setup and dismantle times. Please plan to make arrangements for childcare away from the convention center. The ABC Kids Expo® and ABC Spring Educational Conference & Trade Show are private trade events and not open to the general public.
