| We came away from Vegas winners! We met with existing accounts, opened up a lot of really great new ones and made a bunch of friends too. |
| Jordon Goldstein - Free Gold Watch |
| 50% of all orders we wrote consisted of new stores. I was very happy to see traffic all day each day. As a matter of fact, Wednesday might have been our most successful day! |

| I have participating in POOL tradeshow for three seasons and just keeps getting better! POOL has given me the chance to meet amazing people from buyers to designers to staff. I have a wonderful experience exhibiting here and I am looking forward to the next season. |
| Sherwood – THE. |
| We're happy that we participated, and I think the best part of the show was meeting new people and making contacts. |
| Jose – VOS |
| The show was a very constructive and beneficial experience for us at VOS. The entire experience was smooth and effective and we have nothing but positive accolades for the administration. Our main objective of attendance was to foster relationships with new business, and we were very successful at the same. In summary, our experience was definitely a positive one all around. |
| Tony Prenovost - Tres Nior |
| The traffic was way up from the last couple of seasons and it showed in what we wrote. We opened up about a half dozen new stores and got some solid leads for our European and Australian distributors. It seemed like more of our accounts showed up this time, as well. I think it was a good sign the economy is coming back. |
| Carrie Atkinson– Sock it To Me |
| We had a really good show. We don’t normally do the Feb shows but since it went so well we’ll mostly like come back next year. We’ll be doing August for sure. |

| POOLTRADESHOW is the ultimate source in finding new and niche brands. We love browsing through Pool…our buyers have discovered great brands!! |

| We found the show extremely well
merchandised along with great energy. We like the
fact that it is attached to, and yet somewhat separate
from, the main MAGIC show. One of the lines that
we found originally at the show, Homage, was again
an exhibitor and we found them to again have great
tees for the store, we also found and wrote orders
for Outlaw Print and Rojas which will be coming this
spring. All in all congratulations on a well produced
show. Keep up the good work |

edgy brands which is why I always walk
POOL. Finally headed back in the right direction. |

| I was very impressed with POOL.
I was able to find items for every category I was
looking for...this season the show went back to its
roots of young artists and designers. It’s
nice when you can feel inspired at a tradeshow. |

| This pool was beautifully laid out. I
loved the cash and carry. It really made Pool unique
from the other shows. We found a couple new brands... Overall
it was a great looking show from the bags to the
signage |

| WGSN |
| POOL still managed to outshine the competition with
a stellar outing this season…the show is going
from strength to strength with a more upbeat atmosphere. |
| Cal Apparel News |
| An increasingly sophisticated and contemporary
line-up greeted buyers… a premium was also
put on the merchandising of the show, which featured
cool signage and a design–room aesthetic… |
| WWD |
| This show has become a great place for young,
independent designers to step out… |
