ASD is setting off alarms this Summer as the temperature rises, and the opportunities explode for buyers and sellers to maximize their chance to network through an outstanding venue, at the ASD Las Vegas Trade Show on August 9-12, 2009. With over 3,000 exhibiting companies on display at the show — and in spite of the somewhat unpredictable nature of the retail industry these days — attendees are bullish on things stabilizing and moving in the right direction before too long, especially after a highly successful turnout at the inaugural Liquidation Expo event.

Some industry leaders are showing great optimism in the up-and-coming 2010 event, which gives speculators added confidence in any ASD shows in between. Here’s what a few of them had to say:

• “We were very happy with the traffic, the quality of buyers and the timing of the show. We will be back for 2010”
  - Gibson

   

• “Perfectly timed between the March & August shows… I will definitely be back in 2010”- Riyaz Tayob, Kwality Closeouts

   

• “Liquidation Expo has been very surprising…good quality of buyers and we’ve written some
  large orders. [It was] definitely worth the time and money.”- Dave Adamecz, Craven, L. &Sons

With this kind of support from key exhibitors, it’s easy to see why attending the August ASD
show puts you on the forefront of industry trends, and gives you an advantage during these difficult times
in wholesale and retail. In addition to being a remarkable channel for leads and sales-generation, there’s
also the added bonus of enjoying the surroundings during the down times, as this event will be held at the
Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

This August event will feature categories that cover virtually everyone’s needs, and a host
of exhibitors will be in attendance to address the needs of wholesalers, retailers, and buyers.
