donnajay Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 I can't believe with all the people doing candles there are hardly and trade shows and stuff, besides the ones listed on this site. Does anyone know any sites that have more listings??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 All I have seen listed is 2 per year, here they are Texas Candle Conference http://www.texascandleconference.com/ and the International Guild of Candle Artisans http://www.candlesupply.com/IGCAinfo.html I don't think any of the "Big Boys" attend these, just us small time candle makers, but I could be wrong. If you are into soap I think there are more conventions for them than candles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 The Ohio candle conference was promoted. Apparently the Chicago one isn't happening this year. BCN was or is having one. Was tryingto talk Alan and Nachelle into one lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtburnett Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 The Texas Candlemaker's Conference was huge in 2004, larger than any other conference held in the USA. Over 200 candle makers attended, and many of them were soapers as well. Suppliers attended and set up booths for the guests to browse products, etc. Some suppliers who were in attendance included Wix-n-Wax, Bitter Creek North and South, Wick's Wares, Fragrance Oil Heaven, Crafty's, Starrville, To Die For, Wildways Studios, EZ Wick Setter, AAA; and many many more sponsored the conference through donations including Lone Star, From Nature With Love, Wholesale Supplies Plus, Houston Candle Supply, Just by Nature, PattiCakes, JC's, and that is just a short list.If you can attend this conference, you will leave with a wealth of knowledge. Let me know if I can offer more info.J.T. BurnettCoordinator, Texas Candlemaker's Conferencewww.texascandleconference.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
