The Association is also planning a PPEF Meetup on Wednesday where attendees can come to the PPAI booth to learn more about the Promotional Products Education Foundation – and if they donate a certain amount, they’ll receive a drink. Speaking of which, you can participate in the Glen Holt & Fran Ford Memorial Golf Tournament on Monday, January 12, at Bali Hai Golf Club in Las Vegas. A hundred golfers from dozens of promo firms raised $47,000 for PPEF’s college scholarship program this past year. The late Glen Holt, MAS, was a PPAI board member and Hall of Fame inductee who passed away in 2010, and Fran Ford Jr., CAS, was president of supplier Castelli, a division of Magnet, and PPAI Hall of Fame inductee who passed away in 2018. As a dedicated supporter of PPEF, Ford launched the PPEF Glen Holt Scholarship Golf invitational in 2014. The tournament celebrates their lasting legacies with PPEF scholarships named in their honor. After Hours Expo attendees can connect and mingle after hours at The PPAI Expo Party on Wednesday, January 14. Always held at an epic venue with a high-energy crowd and a dance floor that doesn’t quit, this is where everyone – suppliers, distributors, new faces, industry veterans – come together in one place to let loose. Preregistration is recommended for all meetups at Promo & Pints. If you already registered for Expo, use the link in your confirmation email under “Modify Your Registration.” “I always look forward to The PPAI Expo Party because I love to dance. We dance till we drop. I’ve done it for the last two years, and I’m hoping we get to do it again.” – Jade Crider, Hasseman Marketing Sales Rep and 2025 PPAI Rising Star 48 • NOVEMBER 2025 • PPAI Must Read | 2026 Expo Preview
