Sourcing at MAGIC
Sourcing at MAGIC provides exhibitors direct access to the largest concentration of buying power in the United States and offers educational seminars presented by the world's most influential industry leaders. Sourcing is a critical supply chain component and it is incredibly useful for exhibitors and attendees to have all of this under one roof. This saves time and money because we do the work for them by connecting branded apparel & accessory companies, importers, designers, and product development teams with apparel manufacturers, fabric & trim suppliers, print design studios, and service providers from 40 countries. Plus, we give the development divisions insight into trend projection for the next season and the entire next year. This is accomplished through the presentations of over 600 companies.
