The show, which is the apparel industry's link to entire global supply chain, will be held from May 28-30, 2019 in Miami.#
More than 4,000 visitors from Florida, South-eastern US, and Latin America are expected to attend, representing brands, retailers, ecommerce sellers, designers, importers, and buying offices. The overlap with Miami Fashion Week will increase this number to more than 10,000 fashion industry professionals visiting the Magic City at that time.
Show visitors will also have the opportunity to see the upcoming trends first hand and talk with colour specialists at the Pantone booth, located on the show floor.
On May 28, 2019, the eyes of major Chinese investors will be on South Florida, the next stop for China’s One Belt, One Road global trade initiative. Organised by ATSM in conjunction with the Investment Association of China (IAC), the first Asia-US-Latin American Investment Summit will take place in the show’s VIP Lounge, focused on local investment opportunities in Miami and Fort Lauderdale in the areas of logistics, ports, commercial/residential real estate, infrastructure, and technology. IAC, the authority of the Chinese investment industry, regulated by the National Development and Reform Commission of the Peoples’ Republic of China, has injected billions of dollars into different economies worldwide across numerous industries since the inception of the fund in 2001.
In the wake of a study by McKinsey & Company that indicates much of the global apparel market’s continued growth will come from developing markets, ATSM has announced that it will bring to Miami a Latin American delegation of apparel and textile producers, ready to facilitate ‘near-sourcing’ business with attendees.
Show visitors will also reap the benefits of a unique Florida Business Panel, providing insight into local industry opportunities and services. Julie Hughes, president of the DC-based US Fashion Industry Association, which works to facilitate global trade for US-based brands, retailers, importers, and wholesalers doing business internationally, will also be on hand to provide an update on the latest developments in global trade, tariff, and non-tariff barriers, and new sourcing opportunities.
The trade show will also include the return of the much-anticipated ATSM fashion show, representing both local and international designers, up-and-coming student talent and global fashions presented by show exhibitors. Organised by Charlene Parsons, director of the fashion department at Miami International University of Art and Design, the fashion shows that will take place during the exhibition will feature the work of the students of Miami International University and will showcase both womenswear and menswear.
