TIMELINE OF GROWTH FOR SNEAKERCON

The following year in March 2009 the inaugural Event takes place in Time Square Arts Center in New York City hosting 3,000+ people.

Sneaker Con produced its first Event outside of New York in April 2011. December 2014 they trademark its show.

In May 2017, they expand internationally with its first Event in London. Three months later August 2017, they launch its Asia presence through its Event in Hong Kong.

In May 2018, they launch their NFC LEGIT Tag to accelerate and enhance its Sneaker Con authentication activities. June 2018 Sneaker Con launches its digital marketplace.

A year later the first China Event is produced over three sold-out days hosting 20,000+ people in May 2019. The plot twist comes in during the pandemic in October 2020, when they establish a partnership with eBay to provide authentication services globally in furtherance of eBay’s Authenticity Guaranteed.
