I would like to find information or a list of trade shows in the US
where i can check out exports from other countries, like China,
Taiwan, etc.  I want to go to some shows, and ideally have a site that
lists comprehensive information on them.  Looking for consumer
electronics, tools, etc... not industrial type of stuff, so we can
deal with them directly.

Thanks

the data you wish. The results will show all trade shows taking place
within your requested criteria. Clicking on each will give you the
information of that particular exhibition.
