UPDATED, June 8: Informa has adjusted the dates of its Magic trade shows in Las Vegas again. The events will now begin on Sept. 30 and run through through Oct. 2 after organizers decided to shift the start one day later due to Yom Kippur. The Jewish holiday this year ends on the evening of Sept. 28.
WHAT WE ORIGINALLY REPORTED:
On the same day Micam said its September show in Milan would go on, Magic Marketplace revealed plans to move its Las Vegas-based event to Sept. 29 to Oct. 1 from Aug. 17 to 19.
The event is slated to be held at the Las Vegas Convention Center — and will include Project, WWD Magic and Micam Americas, the new footwear show. Organizers were cautiously upbeat about moving forward.
“We know that our community is eager to connect again. We also know our partner brands and retailers put a lot of effort into the logistics of exhibiting at or attending one of our shows. We believe it is in the best interest of our community to postpone the show at this time, giving us the runway to review the situation on an on-going basis,” said said Nancy Walsh, president of Informa Fashion Markets.
