Boutique Hub and Atlanta Apparel partner for 2019 Boutique Summit

The Boutique Hub (The Hub), the boutique industry’s business-building community, and Atlanta Apparel, an apparel trade show in the southeast, have partnered to host the third-annual Boutique Summit exclusively in Atlanta, June 9-11, 2019. The Summit precedes the June Atlanta Apparel Market, which takes place June 12-15, 2019, at AmericasMart Atlanta.

“Atlanta Apparel shares a passion and a mission with The Boutique Hub: to support and celebrate the independent retail community,” said Atlanta Apparel producer Bob Maricich, International Market Centers (IMC) chairman and CEO. “We are honored and privileged to host its members and partners this June, and look forward to continuing to grow our relationship with this important voice in the fashion retail community.”

The Boutique Summit is the boutique retail industry’s business conference, bringing together close to 800 brands, boutique owners, service providers and other members of the boutique retail community. Since its inception in 2017, The Boutique Summit has hosted close to 2,000 members of the boutique retail community, creating a one-of-a-kind, high-caliber educational and networking opportunity for those who attend. Tickets to the 2019 event sold out in 22 hours, quickly surpassing the 2018 record of 30 hours. Additional digital access tickets and Boutique Awards Banquet tickets are still available for purchase at TheBoutiqueHub.com.

This year’s Boutique Summit event will host more than 40 expert speakers, including Mike Michalowicz, Ashley LeMieux, Nicole Walters, Justin Prince and Diana Harbour. This three-day event is capped off with The Boutique Hub’s Boutique Awards Banquet, a formal event which gives special recognition to each business who was selected as a winner in the 2018 Boutique Awards, across America, Canada, United Kingdom and Australia (where more than 190,000 unique users cast their votes).

“Once again, we are looking forward to hosting members of our boutique retail community during The Boutique Summit,” said Ashley Alderson, Founder and CEO of The Boutique Hub. “We are so proud of what this event has to offer, and how much our attendees are able to take away and instantly put into bettering their businesses. The excitement and passion these individuals leave The Boutique Summit with is palpable, and is what drives us to continue putting on this first-class event.”

The June Atlanta Apparel Market showcases Autumn/Winter and Holiday 2019 women’s apparel, shoes and accessories trends plus specialty Gameday and summer immediate collections. This show offers more than 300 showrooms and nearly 320 temporary exhibitors. In addition to sourcing new merchandise, buyers also will enjoy fashion shows, a kickoff party and educational programming.
