Access to SGMA Spring Market is extended free of charge to all attendees registering through March 31, thanks to Franklin Sports, which is generously underwriting this month’s attendee registration fees – a savings of $50 per attendee.

SGMA Spring Market (June 11-13, 2007, Sands Expo & Convention Center in Las Vegas) will provide the year’s most comprehensive forum for manufacturers, specialty retailers, and team dealers to preview the latest trends and styles in sporting goods and fitness apparel, footwear and equipment. The unique multi-day format will also allow retailers and dealers the opportunity to negotiate margin-improving deals directly with the industry’s most trendsetting manufacturers.

“There’s no other event like SGMA Spring Market that brings the entire sporting goods and fitness community together under one roof,” said Larry Franklin, president of Franklin Sports. “The opportunity to see new products first hand and meet one-on-one with manufacturers, retailers and team dealers is crucial to our industry. Our underwriting efforts are offered as a means to extend this unique collaboration to the entire retailer and team dealer community.”

More than 200 exhibitors are already on board, including Asics, Cramer Products, Easton Sports, Everlast, Garmin, LAMAR Health Fitness & Sports, New Balance, Rawlings, Russell Athletic Group, Spalding, and Under Armour.
