I SWEAR JANUARY DIDN’T LAST LONG AT ALL SMH. WELL GUYS! FEBRUARY IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER, SO THAT MEANS….

MAGIC

WILL BE BACK IN VEGAS ONCE AGAIN TO PROVIDE YOU THE “WORTH IT” EXPERIENCE TO SEE THE NEXT BIG THING COMING FROM ESTABLISHED BRANDS, START UP DESIGNERS, DISTRIBUTORS, AND OTHER BUSINESSES. THIS YEAR’S DATES WOULD BE FEB. 4 – FEB. 7 , 2019 IN LAS VEGAS, NEVADA ; SO HURRY AND GET REGISTERED IF YOUR’RE INTERESTED @ UBMFASHION.COM!! MY PARTNER AND I GOT TO ATTEND THIS TRADESHOW FOR THE FIRST TIME LAST YEAR IN 2018. IN MY HONEST OPINION, I ENJOYED THE 3-DAY EVENT ,BUT THE TIME I WENT DIDN’T MEET MY EXPECTATIONS. I GOT THE CHANCE TO REVIEW THE PREVIEW VIDEOS OF THE 2017 EVENT ON YOUTUBE AND IT ABSOLUTELY BLEW MY MIND.  WHEN ACTUALLY BEING THERE, THERE WERE OVER A HUNDRED TO TWO HUNDRED BOOTHS THAT RANGED FROM TABLES TO BEAUTIFUL AND CREATIVE DISPLAYS. YOU COULD DEFINITELY SEE THE TIME AND EFFORT PUT IN TOWARDS THE PRESENTATION OF THEIR PRODUCTS, IT WAS AWESOME.

HOWEVER, FOR THE EVENT TO BE VERY PRICEY; MY EXPECTATIONS WERE PRETTY HIGH, ESPECIALLY AFTER BEING HYPED BY THE PREVIEW VIDEOS. I CAN DEFINITELY AGREE THAT THEIR DELIVERY MET ITS PURPOSE, BUT THE “WOW” PERFORMANCES AND WORKSHOPS, ETC. DIDN’T GET AS MUCH RECOGNITION THAT IT PROBABLY COULD HAVE RECEIVED. BECAUSE THEY WEREN’T ANNOUNCED, YOU REALLY JUST HAD TO BE AROUND TO ACTUALLY KNOW IT WAS HAPPENING. SO KNOWING THAT THE SPACE IS HUGE AND FULL OF PEOPLE, YOU WOULD’NT HAVE JUST HEARD IT ACROSS THE WAY.  AS FROM MY PERSPECTIVE THEY COULD HAVE AT LEAST INFORMED THE ATTENDEES IN A GENERAL PAMPHLET OF SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS OR PERFORMANCES.

I WAS REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TOO THOSE LITTLE ADD-ONS OF ENTERTAINMENT, WHICH I WAS A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED TO NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO EXPERIENCE EVERYTHING.

MOVING ON…WE DID GET FREE STUFF LIKE BAGS, MAGAZINES, SO THAT WAS COOL. IT GAVE US AN IDEA OF WHAT TO EXPECT IF WE WANT TO BE A PART OF TRADESHOW IN THE FUTURE. IT IS MORE OF SCENE FOR PRODUCT BUYERS, WHETHER YOU WANTED TO PLACED IN SOMEONE’S STORE OR VICE VERSA. SOME VENDORS WERE NICE ; OTHERS WERE JUDGY AS TO BE EXPECTED, SO IT HAD ITS PERKS. BUT WE DID ENJOY GETTING THE CHANCE TO LEARN AS MUCH AS WE COULD. THE CHANCE TO BE THERE WILL AT LEAST BE WITH US HAHA.
