Printwear & Promotion The Total Promotional Package
Sourcing City and the BPMA have announced they are forging a new relationship to form a brand new event for September 2017.
The event will have a new name and rebranding to reflect the new partnership. The combined concept will include all of the benefits of the unique element of pre-booked appointments as established at SC Marketplace, together with a professional product exhibition as at the BPMA Show.
The event will continue to be focused on bringing together professional distributors, industry suppliers and service companies for quality networking and product discovery.
David Long, chairman and founder of Sourcing City, said: “We are confident that the new event will deliver and exciting combined concept that offers something of real benefit to everyone in a professional distributor company at an important time of the selling year.
“The main driver to merge the two events was that both organisations feel it is in the best interest of the industry’s suppliers and distributors not to have two shows at the same time of year. This causes obvious and unnecessary frustrations for both suppliers and distributors. We are therefore pleased that we can bring the best of both events into a single show next year, having everyone in one place will more productive, cost effective and a lot of fun.”
Matt Franks, BPMA chairman, added: “We are delighted to be collaborating with Sourcing City on this venture. We’ve listened to our members, and feel a combined show bringing together the features of the BPMA Show along with the networking of Sourcing City Marketplace will deliver enormous value to our members.”
Given the strength of both shows it is anticipated that approximately 200 supploiers will attend the new show in September 2017.
The location and date are yet to be confirmed and will be announced later this year.
