MAGIC/PROJECT ADVANSTAR FASHION GROUP Thomas A. Florio CEO
WSA Moves to August MAGIC MARKET WEEK
It was a pleasure meeting many of you recently at WSA. World Shoe Association (WSA) is a unique footwear show targeted to the growing business of fast fashion and footwear sourcing. Over the past 60 years WSA has become an important global marketplace for buyers, brands and manufacturers doing business in the space of well-designed popular priced footwear.
I am pleased to announce that WSA will move from its July dates at the Sands to August MAGIC MARKET WEEK, coinciding with FN PLATFORM, footsteps, SOURCING at MAGIC, and WWDMAGIC.
Advanstar Fashion Group is committed to creating a more efficient and inspiring experience to meet the changing needs of the industry. WSA’s move to MAGIC MARKET WEEK, provides significant benefits; reducing your costs and travel time while exposing your brand to over 40,000 buyers. Additionally, MAGIC MARKET WEEK serves the most dynamic segment of the industry providing brands and manufacturers an opportunity to create new partnerships and collaborations, attend valuable seminars and take advantage of our digital and global services.
In the next week you will receive information on how to participate at WSA during August MAGIC MARKET WEEK. Please keep in mind that space is limited and will be on a first come first serve basis. You may contact Leslie Gallin, VP of Footwear, lgallin@advanstar.com or Karalynn Sprouse, VP of SOURCING at MAGIC, ksprouse@advanstar.com for any further information.
On behalf of all MAGIC MARKET WEEK and our shows, we welcome WSA and look forward to our new partnership.
Cordially, Tom Florio
