THE BEST QUALITY ATTENDEES YOU WILL FIND FOR YOUR EXHIBIT INVESTMENT!
What’s all the buzz about? It’s anticipation for the next Draperies & Window Coverings’ Designer & Workroom Conference and the growing interest and exciting networking opportunities it presents!

The first time I attended one of these events I was amazed at the level of enthusiasm, participation and general togetherness exhibitors portrayed. Not only do exhibitors want to be here, they want to be at the next event, too, and go as far as to request to be near other exhibitors. Draperies & Window Coverings just wrapped up our Southern Designer & Workroom Conference and within an hour we had to go back and expand our floor plan because we sold out our initial space!

Ask any of our exhibitors why they come back show after show and they will tell you this is the only conference and trade show experiencing this growth. Dedicated to the heart and soul of the industry—workrooms, designers, retailers, upholsterers, installers and slipcoverers—this event draws the perfect mix of people who are eager to learn, network and meet with key suppliers. They are here for you.

Our seminar and show programs are growing too, as we offer you more opportunities to be a part of the excitement. In today’s economy, you must make the right business decisions to grow your business and be involved where your participation will do the most for you. Don’t let these business-strengthening, relationship-building opportunities slip by without contacting your sales representative.

Come see for yourself what the buzz is all about in Springfield, MA, Sept. 25-28, 2008.

BE A PART OF THE EXCITEMENT!

TESTIMONIALS

"I just wanted to send a note of thanks for hosting the raffle for the workroom table. I was just about to make one for my workroom. When my name was called, I was actually standing in a booth buying a canvas cover. This could not have come at a better time!"

Thank you so much,
Brenda Wells
Winner of the Workroom Table at the Southern Design & Workroom Conference in Knoxville,TN March 2, 2008

"Thank you for waiving my registration fees for the conference. If there could be a silver lining to Donna Skufis' foot surgery and not being able to drive, it's that I finally made it to a conference after hearing about them for years. Your generosity was the extra push I needed.

I learned so much Scot Robbins and Amy Burton and Donna and Beth Hodges and all the exhibitors.

I'm a big fan of the conference now and I do plan to return without the extra incentive.

Thank you again!"

All the best,
Jo Moore
“I learned so much, but most of all found I am much more qualified than I thought. I am empowered to do more than I had hoped to and am looking forward to 2008. Thank you!”

– Sharon Kimmerle, Allentown, PA
Workroom

“Can’t begin to tell you what a wonderful time I had at the show in Valley Forge. I stayed for 4 days and I can say that every class I took was a 100+. I hated to see it end.”

– Suzanne , Batavia, NY
Suzanne Interiors

“I can honestly say I have always walked away with more knowledge then I had previously. A lot of great people, great topics, interesting products, and most of all new friendships - Sewing sisters.”

– Herbie O’Keefe, Santa Fe, NM
Santa Fe Cover Up


"I have already used several of the techniques I learned at the conference on projects in our workroom. They have made the end product even better. I would also like to take some of the business courses offered. Even after 18 years in the business I know that there is more I can learn."
