Building off the successful 2011 launch of a new relationship between the National Stationery Show® (NSS) and BizBash, this year the Show will welcome hundreds of corporate marketers, wedding and special event planners to the May 20-23 event, taking place at New York City’s Jacob K.

“Last year we made great strides in attracting this new category of buyer to the National Stationery Show, further diversifying attending the BtoC audience and creating new opportunities for the 800 companies exhibiting,” said Patti Stracher, NSS General Manager. “Now in our second year, we’ll continue to combine strategies with BizBash to introduce these professionals to the vast product resources and services available at the NSS that are relevant to their businesses.”
