A wholesale industry only event, it’s become a meeting place for the international paintball industry. As noted in the event directory, the 2014 International Paintball Extravaganza (IPbE) brought “70 exhibitors and 300 dealers and field owners” from around the world. With companies presenting over 100 hours of tech t raining, dealers and field personnel could be trained & certified in several different product lines.
