The February 2014 Red Tie Affair



The February 2014 Red Tie Affair
For the first time in our show history ice storms, closed highways, and grounded flights were on the agenda.  No amount of hazardous weather could keep us from hosting our first biannual show of the year, especially since we are proud to be celebrating 70 years. The executive director of SEST Laura Conwell-O’Brien summed up our latest show perfectly “I never cease to be amazed by the people in this industry.  This wasn’t the way we expected to mark our 70th anniversary, but perhaps it was a testimony to why the show has been around all these years.”

We would like to extend a very sincere thank you to everyone who was a part of the February Red Tie Affair.  The conditions were hazardous and the journey to the show was a long one but so many of you, our valued retailers and exhibitors, made the trek!  We would also like to thank the Cobb Galleria and the Renaissance Waverly Hotel.  We would not have been able to make the show a success without your dedicated staff.

If you were unable to make the February show due to the storm then attending the August Atlanta Shoe Market is a must.  The show will be held August 23rd thru August 25th.  Online Registration is now open.  Exhibitor registration deadline is April 23rd  2014.   You can register for the August Atlanta Shoe Market here: https://www.atlantashoemarket.com/index.php/exhibitors/registration-form/

Retailers can also pre-register for the August show through our website.  Follow this link:  https://www.atlantashoemarket.com/index.php/retailers/buyer-pre-register/

Don’t forget to make your hotel reservation at the Renaissance Waverly, the rooms will sell out quickly. You can make hotel reservations here:

 We look forward to seeing you in August!
