Build Your Industry Network

Connect with the people who get your business.

GCA connects you with publishers, suppliers, retailers, and industry professionals through our online members-only GCA community, Member Meet-Ups, Coffee Chats, Town Halls, and annual Conference. Build meaningful relationships, exchange ideas, find answers, and grow your network with people who understand the business.

Put your brand in front of the right people.

From exhibiting at Noted: The Greeting Card Expo and participating in GCA Villages at major trade shows and networking at our Meet Ups during those shows to being discovered through the GCA member directory, membership creates opportunities to put your company and products in front of buyers, partners, and industry influencers.

Learn. Stay informed. Make smarter decisions.

Get access to industry data, trends, statistics, webinars, and other educational resources in the Resource Center that help you understand what’s happening in the greeting card industry and beyond. GCA gives you the knowledge and perspective you need to make better decisions and stay ahead of what’s next.

Turn connections and opportunities into growth.

Whether you’re launching a new company, expanding your reach, or building an established brand, GCA gives you opportunities to increase visibility, learn from your peers, discover new opportunities, and move your business forward through events, educational resources, and networking.

Make your membership work for you.

Membership comes with tangible savings, including discounted Conference registration and Louie Awards entry fees, lower-cost trade show opportunities, exclusive supplier discounts and support, and access to member services that can help reduce the cost of doing business.
