A First-Time Attendee’s Look at CHAMPS Atlantic City

I'm excited to share my upcoming trip to Atlantic City, New Jersey, for the CHAMPS Trade Show at the Atlantic City Convention Center. This premier event brings together professionals from the smoking, glass, Kratom, CBD, and adult toy industries to showcase their latest products and services, attend educational seminars, and network with industry peers.

The CHAMPS Trade Show is a highly anticipated event for professionals in the smoking and glass industry, but it also features other industries such as Kratom, CBD, and adult toys. As a first-time attendee, I'm excited to explore the exhibits and learn about the newest and most innovative products on the market.

The exhibit hall is one of the highlights of the CHAMPS Trade Show. Here, vendors showcase their latest products worldwide, from glass pipes and vaporizers to Kratom, CBD, and adult toys. I'm looking forward to seeing the latest and most innovative products and learning about upcoming trends in these industries.

The news is they also have live glassblowing. We also have artists do this at our store for events, so I am anxious to see what the Glass Games has in store.

Here is a list of the events:

A First-Time Attendee’s Look at CHAMPS Atlantic City

When it comes to dining options, there are plenty of restaurants to choose from near the convention center, and on the boardwalk. For lunch, I plan on trying out the Atlantic City Bar and Grill, which is just a short walk from the convention center. For dinner, I've heard great things about Knife & Fork Inn, which is known for its expertly prepared steaks. Another great option is Dock's Oyster House, which is a local favorite and has been serving up fresh seafood for over 100 years.

If I have time to explore the famous Atlantic City Boardwalk, several great dining options are available. Angelo's Fairmount Tavern is a classic Italian restaurant that has been around since 1935 and is known for its traditional Italian dishes and homemade kinds of pasta. Gilchrist Restaurant is a family-owned establishment that has been serving hearty breakfast dishes and fresh seafood for over 70 years.

Overall, I'm excited to attend the CHAMPS Trade Show in Atlantic City and explore the city's dining scene. With so many great options near the convention center and on the boardwalk, I'm sure I'll find some new favorite restaurants on this trip. I also look forward to exploring the exhibit hall and networking with peers in the smoking, glass, Kratom, CBD, and adult toy industries. The CHAMPS Trade Show promises to be an exciting event with something for everyone, and I'm eager to experience all it offers.

See you there May 9-11th, 2023, at the Atlantic City Convention Center.
