The Intergalactic bead show is trade show for bead merchants and enthusiast. The space for merchants is usually around 2 to 4 square meters. There are usually 4 fairs a month in different states. If your interested in getting a space they have a great customer support for reservations and you can usually get a space 3 months before the event depending on the availability.

The last show I attended had a great variety of sellers with different specialties. I was able to get some great glass beads from Italy along with some silver findings. I made a lot of friends and learn a lot of new things.

I even was able to get a demo of new products such as microwave kiln for making glass beads and pendants. I was captivated how it great it was to see new products and acctually get to try them out before buying them.

If you want to make sure you get the beads you need you can usually see the participants of the show before attending so you can get an idea on what you can buy.

I have made a lot friends attending these shows and look forward to the next bead fair in my state.
