Embroidery machine shows

Here's a few places to get started:

daxshows.com
issshows.com
sgia.org

These are some of the Industries Trade Show organizations. You should be able to find schedules at their site as to when and where they will be. Some of them say that they "charge" admission, but if you contact one of the exhibitors and tell them you want to come see their equipment, they'll get you free passes. I haven't paid to go to a show in probably ten years or so.

In addition to Matt's list:

Imprinted Sportswear Show - http://www.issshows.com/
Embroidery Mart - http://www.embroiderymart.com/
Printwear Show - http://www.nbmshows.com/

Good luck!

Todd & Everybody else looking for trade shows:

When searching for a show in any industry, use the search keyword 'trade show.' You'll get better results. So if you look for 'embroidery trade show' you should find most of the shows you are looking for.

Also for the record - Thanks to JuBilee for mentioning our show, but the DAX show's website is http://www.daxshow.com, 'daxshows.com' won't get you there.

Add eh Embroiderymart shows in Houston, Nashville, and Columbus that NNEP (National Network of Embroidery Professionals) puts on.

NNEP is a great group of operators and business folks that helps out each other with all types of embroidery issues.

All the shows mentioned are great. EnMart exhibits at many of them.

By the way in 2012, the only confirmed show for the NNEP is the one in Nashville in July.
