The Big Gear Show is an events services company based in Denver, Colorado, organizing a multi-category outdoor gear event that connects brands, specialty retailers, media, and outdoor enthusiasts. The event prioritizes hands-on learning and opportunities to try gear before purchase, with early presentations of new brands and technologies aimed at retailers and media, followed by consumer access over the weekend. It operates as a B2B2C platform, enabling brands to meet shop owners and buyers and then engage end users, while also highlighting adjacent categories such as overland and e-bikes. On consumer days, attendees are exposed to innovations and products that support outdoor activities, and a portion of consumer ticket proceeds is donated to organizations protecting wild places. The business is run by a small team in the Denver area; a notable development in 2021 was the appointment of Nisa Meineke as Marketing and Project Director.
