does anyone know of an expo or convention where ants are represented?

There are a lot of exotic pet conventions, so many that some hyper focus (just birds, just herps, et cetera) has anyone seen ants represented, obviously not queens or whole colonies because of legal issues (and stressed to death) but say, AntsCanada or empire of ants could set up a table of supplies, settups, literature, et cetera.
Founding:
3 Solenopsis I/X
5 Tapinoma sessile
1 Nylanderia terricola/vivulda

Colonies:
1 Brachymyrmex patagonicus
1 Pheidole soritis
1 Tapinoma sessile

The difference between a hobby and a scientific pursuit, is detailed notes.

I don’t think there is an ant expo, as vendors of ants usually have a lot of space inbetween them, and travel costs for products would be expensive.
