The Supply Chain Cal + Trade Show Cal every operator's been asking me for
Free, public, always-updating. Add them once, plan around them forever.
If you operate a consumer brand, your real calendar isn’t the one on your wall. It’s the one made of factory pauses, market weeks, freight cycles, and trade shows that decide whether your year sucks or rocks.
I keep two master calendars for myself. I update them regularly. I am sharing them in hopes that they save you so much time and heartache.
🌏 The Global Supply Chain Calendar Chinese New Year, Golden Week, Diwali, Tết, Amazon FBA inbound cutoffs, ocean freight GRI windows — every date that determines whether your inventory lands on time.
🛍️ The Consumer Brand & Trade Show Calendar Expo West, NY Now, Shoppe Object, ASD, IHA, Groceryshop, Magic — every market week and category show that actually moves the industry.
Share with your ops team. Share with your marketing team. Share with whoever keeps asking when Expo is.
Love,
Sam
P.S. These are public Google Calendars — the kind you subscribe to once and forget about. They sit at the top of your calendar, updating themselves while you do other things.
