Tradeshow allows fans to attend and exhibit at the most exciting conventions and expos from wherever they’re located in the world. Until now, conventions like Comic-Con have been reserved for select fans who can afford to travel and attend in person. Now, with Tradeshow fans everywhere can experience all the exciting things they love about the shows. We’re already partnered with many of the biggest brands including Stan Lee to create some of the largest conventions ever held.
We started by building a community of hundreds of thousands of collectors on our platform, Boxes. Now we’re redefining the convention scene by creating the largest and first-ever virtual shows that can reach millions of attendees from around the world for a single event. 150,000 people attended Comic-Con last year—imagine how many more would attend and exhibit when all they need is an internet connection. Fans now have a chance to own a piece of these shows and be part of entertainment history.
That’s why I’m excited to be working with the fantastic people from Boxes and Tradeshow to create the world’s first virtual comic book convention, Amaze Con! It’s going to be a spectacular experience for all the fans and collectors around the world.
Tradeshow will make entertainment history and I believe it’s the future of the convention scene.
Tradeshow is the world’s first virtual trade shows platform that’s built from the ground up and owned by the fans! You can now be part of entertainment history. Not only can you enjoy being present at the shows no matter where you’re located, but you can now own a piece of the success that comes from building the platform and be a part of entertainment history.
“Tradeshow is operating within a massive addressable market, and literally flipping it on its head with innovation. They’re truly pioneers—and have made incredible partnerships with a mutual/aligned interest in its success. I’m thrilled to be an investor and be part of trade show history!”

When you invest in us, you’re getting stock in Boxes, the everyday social collector community platform, and the parent company and owner of Tradeshow. Essentially, your investment and ownership is in both the community (Boxes) and the shows (Tradeshow).
Tradeshow partners with the biggest brands, vendors, artists, writers, and celebrities to create exciting shows that provide all sorts of ways to make money. We get to leverage the size, marketing power, and credibility from all our partners – to produce these incredibly large shows that can generate sizable income.
We’re using many of the same proven business models that the most successful convention and trade show employ to make millions of dollars per show. We make money on each item signing, each celebrity meet and greet, virtual photo ops, premium ticket badges (VIP Access), exclusive item sales, sponsorships, vendor and artist booth sales, items sold at the show by exhibitors, and more. Over time we will continue to add new streams of revenue as we build out the shows further.
Our virtual shows will have significantly larger profit margins than in-person shows since we don’t need to spend money on the monstrosities such as renting out giant exhibitor halls, paying for in-person security, and many other large expenses. This means more profit for us and more value for your investment.
As with any investment, it’s impossible to say what will happen in the future, but we can tell you what we hope to achieve. From the information we gathered, we believe our market to be a $369 billion industry. Tradeshow can disrupt where money gets spent by moving business over to our virtual shows and on to our daily social collector’s platform, Boxes. In addition, Boxes can be the place where brands, vendors, and collectors keep their items inventoried. A combination of both worlds can provide a deep footprint in the market and return lots of value to investors.
You’re buying in at a $12 million valuation. We’re building a business that has the potential to be valued similarly to the in-person trade show mammoths (Reed Exhibitors, Informa) and the collector/fan entertainment companies (Marvel, DC, etc) that are worth in the billions of dollars. If we’re successful, the upside can be MASSIVE.
We’re aiming for a return of 10x – 100x or higher for our investors. And while no one can guarantee success, we’re doing everything in our power to make this the best investment you’ve ever made.
