From the Desk of the Publisher
During my career days, I used to combine trade shows and conferences with business trips of which I could also visit the customers in the area. I found that it is quite effective.
But normally I would attend trade shows in the two seasons, namely, March and September. When it is approaching yearend, I would make shorter trips if they were absolutely necessary. Otherwise, I would prefer to stay home with my family and my staff and celebrate the festival with them.
At this time, I am sharing with you for what is happening in New York, one of the fashion capitals and business centers. I hope that you can also find time to enjoy the Christmas and do some shopping for your beloved ones.
This report has brought you 28 exhibitions, and in each of the exhibition, there you can find conferences under different topics. They are also well extended in 15 different cities which can be good for you to plan your business trips as well.
We hope that this report can be useful and we will feature it in every issue, unlike the sports industry, we will only feature twice a year, and in every other issues.
Planning Your Christmas in New York City
You can start at the bottom of Central Park and head down Fifth Avenue toward Rockefeller Center to see the tallest Christmas tree which will be lighted on December 4. The skating rink will be open for reach person at a 90-minute skating session. This is the highlight of Christmas.
On the way, you can stroll from 60th Street, pass shops like Apple Shop on your right which is opened 24-hours. On Fifth Avenue, you will find Bergdorf Goodman, Cartier, Henri Bendel, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Prada, Tiffany, Giorgio Armani, Versace, and many others, all the way to the 49th Street.
During the period of Christmas, NYC is famous for its shop window displays. You will begin with:
Bloomingdale’s Lexington Avenue, between 59th and 60th Street;
Barney’s on Madison Avenue, between 60th and 61st Street;
Bergdorf Goodman on Fifth Avenue, between 60th and 61st Street;
Tiffany & Co. on 5th Avenue, between 56th and 57th Street;
Saks Fifth Avenue on 5th Avenue, between 49th and 50th Street;
Macy’s on Herald Square, between 34th & 35th Street. This flagship store has 34 shop window display showcasing elaborate displays.
Radio City Christmas Spectacular starring the Rockettes will start from November 8, 2024 to January 5, 2025. The show will last 90 minutes and there will be no intermission. It is also the attraction for the holiday season.
We hope that you will enjoy the New York City during its best time of the year.
From this issue on, Global Fashion & Exhibition Calendar will appear in every quarterly issue. While Footwear Tradeshow Calendar will only appear every six months – for instance, it appeared in our July 2024 issue and it was featuring shows from July to December. The next issue will appear in our January 2025 issue featuring January to June shows.
Without further delay, we are entering into our October issue and walk you through the fashion shows and international exhibitions for the fourth quartet of 2024 and first quarter of 2025.
