Women’s Day is a celebration of the best products, services, and entertainment for women. The show brings together a unique mix of shopping, education, entertainment and new experiences. Women can relax and rejuvenate, explore a new interest, purchase a great find, and spend a relaxing day.  Hosted at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center on Saturday, July 26, 2025 from 10:00-4:00 pm, this event provides the ultimate arena for you to showcase your products and services to the world’s most savvy and qualified group of consumers – women. Today’s economy demands selective use of your marketing budget and research shows that marketing dollars are best spent by bringing products to women where they can see, smell, taste, or touch them. Advertising, Publicity & Promotion  Women’s Day is heavily promoted using a combination of radio, print, and grassroots advertising. Our grassroots campaigns are multi-faceted, utilizing street teams, Facebook and other social media and local networks.  What Makes Our Events Different? Our events are different because we do not charge an admission fee or for the many activities onsite whereas other expos charge $10 or more per person just to get in. We want our attendees to focus on our sponsors and vendors and have a great time at the event.  Attractions That Draw a Crowd! These events are big draws. Our attendees love participating in and watching them, and they provide a great opportunity for media exposure prior to and during the event. You can sponsor the photo booth, temporary tattoos, brow waxing, makeup tips zone and more. Anticipated Attendance Based on average attendance for Women’s Day, we anticipate 1,750-2,000 women to attend in 2025.
