“The most exciting things I discovered were the leading brands and trends in America. As a European exhibitor, it’s very interesting to test how your collection works in the show. The advertising (opportunities) you offer is different from the other shows. Take advantage of SHOP THE FLOOR, it’s a tool that completes the show experience.”
- Paola Dezi, Marketing Director, Coolway
“The best thing about FN PLATFORM is seeing all the collections, the energy from the excitement of newness, the buyer and sales community coming together. Three days at FN PLATFORM compensates for weeks of market in NYC. I’ll take three straight days in Vegas and knock an entire season out in one shot.”
- Virginia Wong, Lead Merchant Shoes & Accessories, Victoria's Secret
“FN PLATFORM is mandatory for all buyers and representatives of brands. This is by far the largest venue for our industry under one roof. It’s easy to shop, well organized and affords me the opportunity to maximize my time and see hundreds of resources.”
