The producers of ASD Trade Shows (www.asdonline.com) announced today they are set to launch a new regional expo, the Miami Wholesale Expo, staging at the Miami Airport Convention Center from September 30-October 2, 2013.

The Miami Wholesale Expo is Nielsen Exposition’s latest venture, in a response to market demand for a wholesale merchandise event to expand relationships for vendors specializing in travel/leisure products, health and beauty items, resort apparel and footwear, novelty and souvenir items and general merchandise.

Nielsen’s flagship show, ASD Las Vegas is the 15^th largest trade show in the United States and caters to over 40,000 buyers, featuring 2,800 vendors. The show stages twice a year, in March and August, and attracts buyers from 50 states and 42 countries.

“With a show like ASD Las Vegas, we know why people travel all over the world to attend: because buyers and sellers can meet and do so much business together over four days. However, with the economy in a recovery period, we’re discovering that not everyone has the resources (time, money, etc) to travel to the West Coast for four days, part of that over a weekend,” ASD Sales Director, John Banker said. “The Miami Wholesale Expo is going to be a brand new resource for buyers and sellers in this region to expand their business opportunities. With support from our top vendors, we are confident this event will grow in the years to come.”

The event will take place on a Monday-Wednesday cycle, to accommodate retailers who typically conduct a high volume of business over the weekend days.

Forum Publishing is a proud Media Sponsor of the ASD shows and distributes our wholesale merchandise magazines at their events.
