Meet at the front desk for an informal group stroll to explore all of the gorgeous spaces at McMenamins Edgefield.
Take a walk! Have coffee with a new conference friend! Check out the healing saltwater pool at Ruby’s Spa!
Provender’s Meet Your Makers tabletop tradeshow is your chance to connect directly with the faces and forces behind our vibrant natural products community. This high-energy, low-pressure event is designed for makers and buyers to engage, share stories, and build authentic relationships — all in true Provender style.
Whether you’re debuting a new line or strengthening connections with long-standing partners, this is your moment to shine.
Register to become an exhibitor HERE.
Networking and spending time with our Provender community is really the best and we want more of it! We will be serving our evening food and drinks in the same space as the tabletop show, so you have more time to grab a beverage and a bite in the room next door or right on the tradeshow floor, and chat with your new connections.
Vendors – We will be serving you before the show starts so you are nourished and ready to go!
