PPB April 2018

by James Khattak Expo East Draws New, Exciting Exhibitors To Atlantic City Expo East, produced by PPAI in partnership with the Specialty Advertising Association of Greater New York (SAAGNY), is the Northeast’s largest promotional products trade show. It will be held June 11-13 at the Atlantic City Convention Center in Atlantic City, New Jersey, beginning with a day of professional development and education sessions, followed by two days of PPAI’s award-winning show production and featuring hundreds of exhibitors from across the country. Expo East is located and designed to meet the needs of industry stakeholders with a preference for the location, timing and convenience of a truly unique East Coast event. Expo East’s success continues to capture the attention of industry suppliers, and at this year’s show attendees will get to visit with five companies that have never exhibited at Expo East or The PPAI Expo: Safety Premiums, MVP Promotions, CardNoter, MiamiSublimation.com and Laser Marking Technologies, LLC. Additionally, 31 PPAI Expo exhibitors are joining Expo East for the first time. While they may have participated in the ISS Moving the 2017 show from March to June proved to be the catalyst to boost attendance. Distributors from as far away as California attended Expo East 2017 to meet with 320 exhibiting companies. 78 | APRIL 2018 | CONNECT
