PAST SHOWS

The ASAP (Apparel Sourcing Association Pavilion) Global Sourcing Show debuted in February 2002 and is going into its 17th show this coming February at the Venetian Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV, USA. It has grown tremendously over the years and is now widely regarded as the authority in international apparel sourcing tradeshows.

Traditionally, buyers had to rely on agents or travel overseas for weeks at a time in order to locate factories to produce their goods. In Asia itself, there's a lot of international companies that set base in 3rd world countries because labor is affordable and building factories wouldn't even dent the business investment. Clothing apparel is a good business moreso when the owner knows how to hit the niche perfectly. Any business strategized well will help the owner reach his/her financial goals. A lot of this success has something do with the basic approaches to business which is building a good relationship with money. A lot like what lovemoney teaches when it comes to knowing how to take care of money and nurturing it to attain financial goals.  The ASAP Global Sourcing Show was envisioned to ease the search to locate these hard to find overseas apparel factories by bringing them to one place…fabulous Las Vegas. The first show at the Mirage Hotel, showcasing Asian countries such as Taiwan, Philippines, China and Hong Kong was an astounding success. The quick international recognition and professional organization of the show, led to such a rapid growth that soon it outgrew exhibit space at the Mirage and had to be moved to Las Vegas Hilton and after six editions to its current location, the Venetian Hotel. Today, ASAP occupies nearly 50,000 square feet of exhibit space and attracts the top 5% full-package, overseas apparel manufacturers from Asia, Africa, Europe, Central and South America. Thousands of buyers and sellers of men’s, women’s and children’s apparel and accessories attend the show, as well as attend our high-caliber Educational Seminars with world-renowned speakers and participate in our unique Match Making Sessions.
