About the Baby Day Expo
The Baby Day Expo, now in its third year, is the largest baby event in Utah and
has grown to become one of the largest baby expos in the country! The 2007 and
2008 Baby Day Expos were huge success with thousands of attendees, exciting events
and tons of great giveaways. Over the past 2 years there have been over 20,000
attendees and we hope to continue to build on our previous success.

Comments from Past Exhibitors
"I have been doing shows for years and The Baby Day Expo has been the
most professional show I have ever participated in. From the moment
we signed up to the end of the show we have been well taken care by
the staff and management of the show. It has been a wonderful experience for us!"
"The quality of leads we received from the show was exceptional.
They dramatically improved our sales and saved us a ton of time and
money trying to find the people who are interested in our product.
It is the best marketing we have ever done."
"I sold three times what I had hoped to sell. People really embraced our product."
"I do about one of these a year. I'm thinking that the Baby Day may be my "one" every year. It was fun."
