Informa Markets - Santa Monica, USA

First went to Javits Center to register. No clarity that I could register at Pier 94. Then had to take a second taxi to Pier 94 as no shuttle was available for over 25 minutes. Wasted time and money. When leaving Pier 94 no shuttle for 20 minutes and when it arrived it was an SUV that was being waited for by a crowd of attendees and only took 5 people. No taxis there either so had to call Uber. Wasted time and money again. Made my train by 5 minutes or would have had to wait another hour. Show itself well run but essential details like transportation totally unacceptable. Lunch was very enjoyable and a great touch.

There's some great hotels and restaurants that are within walking distance of the convention center. Best to book a nearby hotel so you can avoid having to pay for parking.

With my current supplies, I enjoy getting the latest information on new products being rolled out. The operational displays, hands on ability and knowledgeable booth personnel is a huge benefit.

I think it could have been set up better in the sense of color coordination for instance the women's shoes and price points were not available so you had to waste a lot of time in each booth that didn't have prices second of all if you wanted to just womens shoes they should be one color children's another and men's another also the shuttle service stops at 12:30 and doesn't read start until 3:30 I got there very early and I left around 12 and I had no way to get back other than to take a taxi

Please do somepromoting and a fashion event or a cocktail Party...OR even displays of the clothing on mennekins as you have done in the past - this show had no electrcity or excitement in a grand venue......someone needs to take stock and get that Fashion Capital realization going and do something of interest.....way too boring and cold as it was this time not the way to go forward.

Lot's of Great Designer's. I wish I arrived earlier to spend more time and get more accomplished with getting more contacts. I didn't realize that Tuesday, the show ends at 4pm instead of 6pm.My only quam is that I had to register again, upon my arrival and they didn't have any of my existence in the computer, especially being that I'm a returning guest from a past show. Two delightful people ,were able to assist me, and get me registered. I look forward to the same show in July.

I learned that I have yo keep on going to this events to see how technology keeps on growing

Lots to see. I connected with the few I targeted. You have to focus and plan ahead

The merchandise always has the best quality! I would like for few vendors to be more friendly. The food went down in quality in the past four years. But, overall, I love the show.

International Registration was not good. Olny one of the girls spoke English. We were with Gemans, French and Dutch. As there was only one understanding English it took long time to get our entry ticket.
