David Abbate Buyer Tours & Coffee Q&A's.

Whether you’re new to the fashion retail trade, or an experienced buyer attending OFFPRICE for the Ḁrst time, covering 100,000 square feet (i.e. 1,200 booths) with more than 460 vendors can be overwhelming.If you Ḁt into either of these categories, we highly recommend our FREE Buyer Tours. Back by popular demand, the tours are hosted by buyer David Abbate from Lady Rose Shops in New York, who has been attending the OFFPRICE Show since its inception in 1995.David is a serious advocate for educating retail buyers on how to shop OFFPRICE. His reputation in the off-price community precedes itself, so much so that some exhibitors have allowed “David’s entourage” of buyers to witness million-dollar deals Ḁrsthand. The tours take place at 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. on the ἀrst three days of the show. Before each tour, at 8:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. respectively, buyers are encouraged to gather at The Connection area near Cash & Carry in aisles 3200 and 3300 for coffee and a Q & A session with retail advisory board members. The tours typically last less than an hour, and David is very generous with his time for questions before and after the tour. Tours gather and originate at The Connection area of the show door.

THE CONNECTION

New to the show in February is The Connection area near Cash & Carry in aisles 3200 and 3300.
