The 2019 International Gift Exposition in the Smokies (IGES) will take place on Nov. 5-9, 2019, celebrating its 20th year anniversary, at the Sevierville Convention Center in Sevierville, Tenn., and the LeConte Center in Pigeon Forge, Tenn. IGES will host vendors and buyers of resorts, souvenirs, name-dropped apparel, customized gifts, Made in America, gift, and more. 

IGES, originally the Pigeon Forge Resort Merchandise and Gift Show, was started in 2000 at the Grand Hotel in Pigeon Forge to serve the wholesale resort merchandise industry.  IGES joined Emerald Expositions in 2016, and is now one of the largest gatherings of souvenir and resort merchandise with a unique specialty in custom and name-dropped products.
