PPAI, in partnership with the Specialty Advertising Association of Greater New York (SAAGNY) and in cooperation with the Imprinted Sportswear Show (ISS), announces that Expo East 2016 show dates will be moved to March 16-19, 2016, in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The new show pattern will include an education day on Wednesday, March 16, and the show dates will shift to Thursday through Saturday, March 17-19. The trade show combines the best in PPAI professional development, a PPAI Expo-style show floor experience and the decorated apparel industry’s latest technologies and hottest trends presented by ISS, all in one place at one time.
“We are pleased to announce the new Expo East 2016 show dates,” says Paul Bellantone, CAE, PPAI president and CEO. “We listened and made the shift our suppliers and distributors wanted. As a member-focused organization, PPAI is committed to meeting the needs of its members, exhibitors and attendees. By shifting to Thursday through Saturday, PPAI is answering the call and continuing to grow a show environment that is more welcoming and vibrant than ever before. We continue to celebrate the partnership with ISS. The shift in show dates demonstrates the strength of our collaboration to build success for all attendees and exhibitors.”
ISS Show Director Jeff Brown says, “The entire team at the Imprinted Sportswear Shows is looking forward to partnering with PPAI’s Expo East for our second annual co-location in Atlantic City in 2016. The shift of our joint date pattern will open the combined Expo to more attendance across the board. In-depth research went into consideration by both groups, and we see 2016 as being even better than our first year in March 2015.”
