The challenge for event organizers is to keep topping themselves year after year.” Trish Borrelli, Sr. Attendee Acquisition Manager, NY NOW, said, “NY NOW is all about sharing what’s new, fresh and innovative with our community of retailers, designers, and influencers. We gather twice each year to debut the newest products, promote the most talented emerging brands we’ve scoured the globe to uncover and share the latest tools to engage consumers. Retailers are looking to us to help them stay ahead of the curve and we take that responsibility very seriously, which inspires us to continuously evolve and deliver something new and exciting each Market.
