Back-to-Back Action: For 12 years, Action Sports Retailer magazine has held an October trade show in Atlantic City, N.J., for beach lifestyle apparel and accessories companies. East Coast buyers used that show to preview upcoming spring fashions.
Now the Laguna Beach-based magazine/trade show promoter is gearing up for its initial three-day “Back to School” show. The new exposition will be staged March 11 through 13 in Philadelphia. “We think the marketplace has grown up enough to support this,” a spokesman said.
