New Winter Dates: February 3 & 4 2010

ASRJanuary moves to February! New dates, new look, new format.

The move to February dates allows us to serve as a critical west coast, fall product buying event. A later winter date also opens up the busy mid-winter calendar saving exhibitors the cost and hassle of overlapping events. We have worked closely with manufacturer organizations SIMA and IASC, along with the Board Retailers Association and leading surf, skate, swim and fashion manufacturers to determine a date patterns that work best for the marketplace.
 
“The subject of tradeshow dates have been a hotly debated discussion for both spring and fall due to the different needs and buying patterns of the exhibitors and buyers attending the show,” states Joel Cooper, CEO of Lost International and SIMA Treasurer.  “Both ASR and SIMA did extensive research including polling retailers and manufacturers. We believe these dates will best serve the industry as a whole.”

Stay tuned for more information as we roll out our format changes for 2010.
