It’s that time of year—time to leave the snow and ice behind and head to Las Vegas and San Francisco for our annual West Coast events!
Our first stop will be SOURCING at MAGIC, where we’ll catch up with friends new and old including sourcing executives from brands and retailers, suppliers from around the world (including the USA!) and many of our International Affiliates and service provider members. If you plan to be there, we hope you’ll join us on Tuesday, February 17th for a free seminar on duty-free sourcing options with a focus on Africa, including Egypt. Many other members and industry friends will also be hosting seminars, including TC[2], SGS, the Footwear Distributors & Retailers of America (FDRA), and the Sourcing Journal. (And let us know if you’re attending, so we can keep you in the loop on other VIP events!)
Then we’ll catch a quick flight to San Francisco, for our annual West Coast Seminar at Levi Strauss & Co. on Thursday, February 19th. This will be our largest regional seminar yet and we’ve got a not-to-be-missed agenda featuring U.S. Customs & Border Protection, the U.S. Department of Commerce, PwC, OHL, and our legal counsel. Of course, the highlight of the day is the post-event reception at the Levi Strauss & Co. company store, where you can relax with friends. To register, visit our website.
It’s not too late to join us at either event—and we hope to see you there!
