The Bottom Line - The Atlanta Shoe Market show has built a reputation for being the industry’s most productive event, a “working show” where buyers meet with sellers and place their orders for the coming season.

Convenient - The show is also noted for its ease and convenience – easy to get to and convenient to work with everything under one roof.

According to SESTA Executive Director Laura Conwell-O’Brien, “Our goal has been simply to make it as efficient as possible for retailers and manufacturers to conduct business.  That’s why buyers attend The Atlanta Shoe Market show bi-annually.
