Strong Retailer Turnout Expected for Trade Conference
Date: 3/20/2008
More than 125 hobby retailers have registered for this year's Hawaii Trade Conference/Mainland Edition, making this the second straight year that more than 100 retailers will attend the show.

Retailers made up more than 45 percent of all conference registrants as of this week, the most of any class of trade. The annual trade conference is scheduled for April 13-17 at the San Marcos Golf Resort in Chandler, Ariz.

"It's great to see such a large number of retailers signed up again this year," said Dean Listle, sports group publisher for F+W Publications, which produces the show.

"Manufacturers and licensors place a high value on the feedback and ideas they bring home from this conference, so the more retailers on hand, the more valuable the conference is for everyone."

For registration information regarding the trade conference, call Jill Lodewegen at (800) 726-9966, ext. 442, or you can download the registration form at
