h+h americas 2025 may launch on May 7, but we encourage attendees to arrive early because the show really starts on Tuesday, May 6.

Tuesday is packed with fantastic events you don’t want to miss. h+h University, Creator Summit, Sewing Dealer Exchange, Sample It, and Product Academy all happen before the show officially starts. Some of these events—like Product Academy—will help attendees manage their schedule once the show begins. Why is that important? Because h+h americas 2025 is our biggest event yet. 

We can’t understate the size of h+h americas 2025. It’s critical to plan your show early because it’s impossible to attend everything. There are more than 250 content pieces at h+h americas 2025, including classes, networking events, product events, lectures, and more. Read our Definitive Guide to h+h americas 2025 to preview all the content pieces available to attendees!
