NORWALK, Conn. – PGA Golf Exhibitions and Pukka Headwear today announced the company’s plans to exhibit in the 2010 PGA Fall Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada, August 16-18. This year’s Expo moves to the Venetian Resort & Convention Center at the heart of the apparel industry’s “Fashion Week” and the MAGIC™*, MODA™*, MRket®*, and ACCESSORIES: The Show®* events.
“We are excited to exhibit at the PGA Fall Expo in Las Vegas,” comments James Thompson, Pukka’s Director of Marketing. “Foremost, this is our chance to meet with our customers from the west coast that elect not to make the trip to Orlando for the PGA Merchandise Show in January. As in years past, attendees will get a preview of the new headwear collections we will be introducing and a chance to meet face-to-face with our internal staff and local sales representatives.”
Pukka Headwear, designer and manufacturer of premium golf headwear, will exhibit in the extensive apparel section of the new modernized PGA Fall Expo show floor. PGA Professionals, specialty retailers and influential golf buyers, along with qualified buyers among the 100,000 Fashion Week apparel buyers, will be able to preview the latest Pukka Headwear, discover the latest golf retail trends and source the latest merchandise from a wide spectrum of golf vendors. Additionally, PGA Fall Expo attendees can personally test equipment and training aids, attend the complimentary Education Conference and enjoy numerous networking events including three golf industry tournaments and the popular Industry Welcome Reception, held this year at TAO Las Vegas.
“We are pleased to welcome back Pukka Headwear to the PGA Fall Expo,” said PGA Golf Exhibitions Group Vice President and General Manager Ed Several. “This year’s PGA Fall Expo is an ideal platform to connect with their influential golf retailers, create profitable new retail relationships and build on their reputation for quality merchandise.”
