Collaborative Exhibition Spaces

Our team is working to facilitate collaborative, shared exhibit spaces destined for a variety of relevant industry events to showcase the emerging outdoor businesses from Texas. Participating members will have the opportunity to customize their portion of the exhibit space and will have the added support of TxORA team members on site to engage visitors. We'd love to hear your ideas for where trailblaze24 goes next!

There are additional opportunities for outdoor businesses and brands interested in participating without traveling to the events.
