*Noted Relocates to Las Vegas Market
Founded in 1941, the Greeting Card Association (GCA), represents more than 230 American and international publishers across companies of all sizes, acting as an advocate and champion for the greeting card tradition and business development. Part of GCA, *Noted: The Greeting Card Expo, launched in 2019, is a space for the greeting card community to gather, inspire, source and connect. In a historic move from San Francisco to Las Vegas, *Noted expands its industry footprint with a 50-member greeting card showcase at Las Vegas Market, July 27-30, 2025.
“Planning for this year's *Noted trade show has been an exciting journey. We've strategically expanded our outreach to welcome a more diverse range of buyers, which we believe will enrich the experience for all participants,” said Kate Murray, chair of the Greeting Card Association’s *Noted Committee. “The heart of *Noted has always been its vibrant community of creators, innovators and industry leaders coming together to forge meaningful connections. We look forward to building on this foundation and creating even more opportunities for collaboration and growth.”
As the largest gathering of greeting card makers in North America, *Noted joins Las Vegas Market temporaries in an outstanding display of the country’s new and next greeting cards, while doubling as a space for networking and brand experiences. Notable members include 1canoe2; a jar of pickles; Avanti Press; Brave Birds California; Fine Moments; Hitchcock Paper Co.; Junebug Ink Stationery; Lavender Vines; Maison Chanamon; and Pineapple Sundays Design Studio.
“We are thrilled to be returning to *Noted for our second year! With this being the largest gathering of greeting card makers in the U.S, the potential to connect, learn, and inspire is incredible,” said Eryn Pasternak of 1canoe2. “With exciting changes - a new home in Las Vegas, and the coinciding Summer Market - plus, the fact that *Noted sold out almost instantly tells me this show is going to be one for the books. We're looking forward to being a part of the energy and celebrating the creativity that makes this community so unique.”
In addition to stationery sourcing, the 36th annual Louie Awards will honor the best cards in the industry. Held in the Expo at World Market Center on Sunday, July 27th at 7 p.m., the Louie Awards recognize brilliant artists in more than 50 categories from Mother’s Day and religious holidays to invitations and congratulations.
