THE MAY EVENT

Uniting the Shoe Industry

The May Event is a unique opportunity to utilize the resources of the Shoe Industry's
strongest Independent Retailers & Vendors.
The MAY EVENT creates and strengthens Partnerships:
Whether it is Retail/Retail, Retail/Vendor or Vendor/Vendor….
We can all learn something from each other.

That is what is done at the MAY EVENT; "NETWORKING" together.
There are Speakers, Workshops, Round Tables and Panels involving Retailers, Sales Reps and Vendor Executives. The May Event offers many different ways to share and disseminate information.

This is all done in a beautiful resort setting. The annual Golf Tournament, Tennis matches and tours take place on the first morning. The seminar portion begins that afternoon with an amazing Keynote Speaker followed by Networking and Orders. The evening starts with a Cocktail Party, Banquet Dinner and Golf Awards.

The following day is for interaction through Panels where attendees hear from our industry's strongest and most knowledgeable and Workshops where attendees brainstorm together on issues facing the industry today, another Cocktail Party, Banquet Dinner and more networking. The last day finishes off this amazing event with another Dynamic Speaker.

Vendors have the opportunity to display their shoes throughout the entire three days, giving Retailers a chance to look at the lines in a very relaxed atmosphere. Not only can they look at the shoes, but many Vendors offer a minimum 5% discount on any orders left during this three day event.

So whether you are in Retail or in Wholesale, a Sales Rep or an Executive….
The May Event has something for you!!


One Industry…One Goal…One Place.
