Comments from Past Mart Attendees...
"Embroidery Mecca = Embroidery Mart, " Jim Serritella

"What I love about the NNEP is the feeling of a family run event. It doesn't have the cold "nothing but business" feeling I have experienced with some shows. The group that conducts the NNEP goes above and beyond to make sure every vendor is treated equal and the emphasis is placed on doing what is best for the members or attendees. I only wish there were more shows like the NNEP!" Ricky Brooks

This will be my 3rd NNEP at Nashville, I look forward to being updated on the new products on the market, seems like I can get a 1 on 1 with the distrubutors more than when I go to ASI shows. The location is ideal for me since I live in Southeast MO! Thanks" Ethel Adams

"I love attending the Embroidery Mart because it is such a wonderful opportunity to meet new suppliers, to learn, and to network with other embroidery professionals. And all of this is under one roof!" Alana Cunningham

"Last year's event came just 4 months after I took over my embroidery business. Although I have attended many different kinds of shows and markets, it was at this event that I actually fell in love with embroidery. There was a fantastic variety of vendors and seminars that gave me a true wealth of information and products for my business in just 2 short days. It is definitely on my calendar to attend again this year!" Chris Castleberry

"The NNEP Shows are the best way to connect with other people in the industry!" George Bournigal

Thanks for all of your hard work. Embroidery Mart East was great. I really enjoyed it and also learned a lot.Thanks again!" Marcia Hiltabidle

"WE ATTEND THE NNEP CONFERENCE BECAUSE OF THE LOCATION. IT IS EASY ACCESS TO THE HOTEL/CONVENTION CENTER. TIME IS NOT WASTED HUNTING FOR PARKING AND WALKING BLOCKS TO THE SHOW. NASHVILLE ALSO OFFERS MANY AREAS OF ENTERNTAINMENT FOR ALL THOSE ATTENDING. THE SHOW ITSELF IS SETUP WITH WIDE AISLES AND ONE CAN LOOK AT ALL THE DISPLAYS WITHOUT FEELING CROWDED OR LIKE YOU ARE IN SOMEONE 'S WAY. WE ALSO BENEFIT FROM THE MANY VENDORS THERE AND WE CASH IN ON THE SHOW SPECIALS THEY HAVE. GREAT WAY TO SAVE MONEY. WE ALSO THE EXPECTED TRENDS FOR THE COMING SEASON. NEW THINGS TO TRY AND MAYBE WHY SOMETHING DID NOT WORK FOR US.  ALL THE VENDORS/NNEP REPRESENTATIVES ARE VERY HELPFUL AND APPEAR EAGER TO HELP WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS AN ATTENDEE MIGHT HAVE. WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO ATTENDING THIS YEAR." PILCHER IMPRINTING & EMBROIDERY

"It was very nice meeting you at the Convention. You did a FANTASTIC job. Great conference with loads of vendor opportunities and education." Patricia OConnor
