Hosting the East Tennessee Fishing Show at the Knoxville Expo Center is always a success and we couldn’t ask for a better facility or experience. The spacious layout, central location, free parking and ease of move in/out are second to none. The staff at the KEC are incredibly responsive, helpful and accommodating to our every need ensuring every detail is covered from set up to execution. Their professionalism truly sets KEC apart from the rest.
