Ahead of The Independent Show (Sunday-Wednesday), we asked executives in the industry for their favorite family memories from Independent Shows of years past. Here’s what they had to say.

A treasured family memory from Independent Shows was in 2016 at Disney World. The event provided after-hours access to Epcot. My son Noah, then four years old, loved the Test Track ride, riding it countless times with infectious joy. We happily indulged his requests to ride it repeatedly, even as we approached midnight. This experience, and a similar one with our younger son Zachary at Disneyland, exemplifies the precious moments the Independent Show can bring to families.

My fondest memories of the Independent Show revolve around one word—FAMILY. Family is what makes TIS different than any other trade show. The idea behind TIS was to create something for independent companies that didn’t lose the family focus. People have met as high schoolers at TIS and have gotten married. I can’t wait to meet your significant other and your sons and daughters at this year’s show—I hope everyone has a great time and learns something to take back home.
