FW26 Discovery Exhibitors Manual *coming soon*


Program

Discovery is a 5-hour, unstructured event designed for browsing and exploring and it doubles as the welcoming Happy Hour social for retailers. These social moments at a business-focused show are incredibly valuable to both retailers and exhibitors, who crave community time as much as they crave good coffee (and they love good coffee).
