I am posting another question in response to the following
clarification...
 In step with Jack Burton's comment, I'll be happy to compile the U.S.
list as I attend some of those events.  You may want to consider
halving the price of this question and posting an additional one so
that both add up to your original fee.
 
Best regards, 
journalist-ga

This question to cover the US part (and anything else you may consider
to be useful). To be fair, I hope it is OK for me to request
journalist-ga as you posted the clarification.

My original question is as follows...
I am looking for information about New Age style fairs in the USA and
Europe (including the UK)from mid July to the end of 2003. My
particular interest is in trade shows where there may be new products
and services such as at http://www.inats.com/
Please keep an open mind as you search as what is important to me is
to find what is new and possibly exciting and marketable. I will be in
the US and Europe during some of this time - however if you find
something elsewhere, please let me know.

It is okay for you to request me (or any other Researcher of your
choosing) and I thank you for your kindness in doing so.  :)  I'll
begin compiling the U.S. research tomorrow morning.

Thanks again,
journalist-ga
