The three-day event will feature a full slate of anniversary activities designed to enhance the buyer experience. On Sunday, February 1, the first 100 stores through the doors will receive goody bags filled with exhibitor samples, followed by a cake and champagne toast celebrating 30 years of the show. Daily prize giveaways featuring exhibitor-sponsored gifts and merchandise credits will run throughout the event. Monday, February 2, continues the celebration with another goody bag giveaway for early attendees and a lunch of classic Philly cheesesteaks.
