Unlike other trade "only" shows, there's so much value outside of the Exhibitors. There are trainings, Ask the Doctor segments, activities, classes and components to the Stimulate Show that don't exist at other events.. Each year they do something new and different that increases value and the fun factor for this event. They have to over the expense to fly in Doctors, Industry Leaders and trainers, and unlike other events, there's sexual wellness information, business trainings and a lot more to tap into than just product.

Think of it more like Vendors and a Conference.

In 2026, there will be a Beauty Bar and Headshot station, with some other fun stuff throughout, like live music at lunch!

This event is also stunning. They put a lot of effort in content worthy backdrops, photo ops, and the overall vibe in general. It's not just a giant room with vendor tables, it's a full on experience.

So yes, there's a fee, but this event is a full on experience, not just a vendor show.

We know how overwhelming events can be, so just a heads up... Success Systems will have a room (as part of the event) that we can all use to go hang out in, relax, take a breather, plan meet ups at, or just step away for a sec!

More info on this coming soon, but just know, we have an "escape" space for the Monday and Tuesday during the show 💗

... and probably snacks!

Optional Home Party Workshop + Lunch
*Additional Registration Fee

11:30 to 3:30

Will feature trainings, speakers, and products relevant to, and specifically for those in the In Home Party space. They have always offered a similar workshop for Brick and Mortar stores, and have added this additional training day to better support those doing parties.

Yes! We will ALWAYS have a time and space to get together at events!

For this event, we have partnered up with The Social Stockroom (you do not need to shop with them) for a FUN ONLY evening. There will not be vendors set up at this event, it's a social hang out in a great location with food, snacks and the chance to connect!

Details coming soon!

Dress code is up to you! But we would roll with Business Casual just so you are putting your best foot forward, plus you want photos to look good so you can use them and share them later!

Jeans are totally okay, and you'll see plenty of people in "every day wear" so our advice, be comfortable, brush your hair, slap on some make up, and look presentable, but stay comfy (without wearing sweats) and wear what makes you feel good!

MUST HAVES:

• Comfortable Shoes
• Bag with room for note pad or tech, pens, samples, a water bottle, charging cords
  

For the Afterhours party, it's a chance to "look nice" but you don't have to go all out. Cute bottoms and top with fun accessories, a fun dress, skirt and top, think "going out" attire, not formal wear.

Lunch will be provided each day

This is a totally separate WORKSHOP, and requires a separate registeration (there will also be Mimosa's and it's in a REALLY cool space, designed to give us the party experience too 🥂)

This is a NEW event, so we don't have any "insider" information to provide, but typically, you can expect Stimulate events to be value packed. They don't half ass shit.

FROM STIMULATE:

Join us at Nashville’s iconic Graduate Hotel for a four-hour, power-packed workshop designed exclusively for home party operators and mobile retail professionals within the sexual wellness and adult retail space. Hosted at the glamorous White Limozeen rooftop restaurant, this event blends education, inspiration, and celebration—complete with a curated brunch, gorgeous views, vendor discovery and a vibrant atmosphere that feels like a party you won’t want to leave.

Tailored to the unique needs of on-the-go entrepreneurs, this workshop delivers real-world strategies to help you strengthen your business presence, drive sales, and create unforgettable experiences wherever you go. You’ll learn directly from experts and peers who understand what it takes to build a thriving mobile retail business in today’s dynamic market.

Through engaging discussions, actionable exercises, vendor-led education and peer-to-peer collaboration, attendees will gain tools and insights to elevate:

• Event planning and mobile merchandising strategies
• Customer engagement and loyalty-building techniques
• Team motivation and leadership for independent sellers
• Social selling and digital marketing that converts
• Profitability through smarter inventory management and upselling

Just like many of us appreciated being recognized for our work in our businesses, other businesses do the same! This event show is completely optional, and it's a way for the Show to recognize Brands, Business Services, Podcasts, Sex Educators, Medical Professionals and more.

There is an additional fee to attend this event, and it's completely up to you whether or not you want to check it out. It's new this year, so we don't have any insights for you, but you can check out more details here
