Are you going to the New York International Gift Fair the first week of February?
Once again, the show is offering benefits to CRAFT members that make our lives easier, provide opportunities for networking and education.
Use of the Club Lounge at Javits 1E03. This is the room on the basement level past the food services. We can hang coats, leave luggage and use the seating and computers! Retail members: pick up some lunch and join us everyday at 12:30 to chat and exchange exciting finds. Artist members: exhibitors are not allowed in the Lounge. However, they are letting us use the attached meeting room on Monday at 12:30 for you to join us. We'd love to see you if you can get away.
NYIGF is giving all members the opportunity to attend one educational session free. Go to www.nyigf.com/invite to sign up. Use promo code - NYIGF 208.
Donna Milstein will be on the panel "Made in the USA: Sourcing and Selling American-Made Products" on Friday 2-3 PM, Javis A02-03. If you would like to attend free and support Donna email Cathy Steel for free tickets (in addition to the free one above) Cathy Steele by Jan 25.
Also - in searching the show site I found a few interesting things. Will you be in NY on Friday? There is a free breakfast sponsored by Crafts Report 8:30 - 10 am in the Lobby Hall 1D.
Then head to the Piers. Go to the Transportation Desk and ask for a free metro card to use in the city.
