ANKENY, IA – The National Association of Sporting Goods Wholesalers (NASGW), the association representing shooting sports wholesalers, manufacturers and their trade partners, is pleased to announce that Elite Tactical Systems (ETS) will be sponsoring an NASGW Expo Happy Hour on Wednesday, October 26th in Kansas City, MO.

“In the last couple years, our Expo Happy Hours have been a big hit, bringing attendees together at the end of a busy day," said NASGW President Kenyon Gleason. "We are looking forward to another great event with the help of our partners like ETS. I truly appreciate all of our sponsors for stepping up to help make this Expo another success.”

The NASGW Expo will be held on October 26 - October 28 at the KCCC (Kansas City Convention Center) in Kansas City, Missouri. The Expo is the premier event for shooting sports wholesalers and manufacturers to review current market conditions, forecast future sales, and plan for the upcoming year.

“I am equally proud as I am excited to be part of this new and stronger partnership between ETS group and the NASGW," said Ed Mazzeo, ETS Group Chief Revenue Officer. "Now is an excellent time to further grow our wholesale and distribution relationships. Our commitment to making the best products in America is rivaled only by our commitment to our partners.”

The NASGW Expo is one of the most productive events within the shooting sports industry. It is a closed event for NASGW Members, creating a very productive business environment for Expo attendees. Exhibitors and attendees value the smaller, meeting-focused event that provides a one of a kind opportunity to connect with their partners in a short period, to plan for the year ahead.
