TREVOSE, PA — (December 28, 2007) — Exciting events for ASI New York (May 6-8) have just been announced. The first and only major industry tradeshow to take place in New York will offer ASI distributor member companies free tickets* to the Broadway musical Hairspray, taking place May 7 at the Neil Simon Theatre (Sponsored by SnugZ USA, asi/88060). Winner of eight Tony Awards, Hairspray was rated as the number one entertainment choice on ASI member surveys.

Additionally, the Counselor Awards, which reveals the Person of the Year and the annual Top 40 rankings, among other top honors, is moving to ASI New York for 2008. The exclusive annual awards ceremony, typically held at ASI Chicago every July, will take place at the end of Education Day on May 6. ASI President and CEO Timothy Andrews, shared, “We’re very excited to be able to bring the Counselor Awards banquet to the Big Apple. New York is a hot place. I can’t think of a better city to bring together the industry’s biggest shakers and movers.” For the first time, a limited number of tickets to the Counselor Awards will be made available to ASI New York registrants for $250 per ticket. This black tie event will feature dinner, open bar, the awards ceremony and a unique New York City venue.
Enthusiasm for ASI New York continues to grow. “Since its announcement, I have received numerous calls from both suppliers and distributors expressing how thrilled they are about this new Northeast event,” said Mary Upton, The ASI Show Vice President of Tradeshow Operations.
Director of Sales, Karen DiTomasso, added, “Due to demand, we have just expanded the show floor by 100 booths. We expect to have a terrific mix of suppliers and distributors, making ASI New York the Northeast’s most productive, business-building event. New York City is one of the most exciting destinations in the world, and the top-notch events we have planned, such as Hairspray and the Counselor Awards, will add to the entire show experience.”
ASI New York, May 6-8 (Tuesday through Thursday) at the Javits Convention Center, will offer an action-packed, three-day schedule, featuring innovative suppliers, dozens of free, cutting-edge education sessions, three free Keynote presentations and daily, interactive networking events.
