Agenda: Most brands and buyers have spoken

Statement from the Agenda Trade Show:

“In the wake of ASR’s announcement there has been a lot of talk about the future of trade shows, and the process of learning what the brands and buyers who use the shows want.

“What’s missing from this conversation is the fact that most of the brands and buyers have already spoken. The Agenda Trade Show is the premier West Coast trade event in our industry, and has been for some time.

“With the help of amazing brands and retailers, Agenda has spent the last seven years refining our show into what we have today: Business Centered, Product Focused and Cost Effective.

“We look forward to seeing you in January.”

AGENDA: January 6 & 7 2011 Anaheim, Marriott.

AGENDA: NYC January 17 & 18 New York City, Chelsea Art Museum.
