Coastal Connections Conference includes buying opportunities

The Boardwalk events feature over 30 of the top beach, coastal and nautical wholesalers.

Attendees of the Coastal Connections Conference, Feb. 11-12 at the Margaritaville Resort Orlando will have the opportunity to explore new product offerings and meet with leading beach, coastal and nautical wholesalers.

In addition to seven highly relevant educational sessions, the event includes The Boardwalk Sip & Shop on Tuesday evening, from 6-7 p.m., and The Boardwalk main event Wednesday, Feb. 12 from 9-11 a.m.

The Boardwalk will feature over 30 vendors. Attendees can explore new products and get to know some of the industry’s hottest brands in this exclusive buying experience.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to hear from exhibiting companies and learn about their offerings during The Boardwalk Chat session preceding the sip and shop. The casual sit-down Q&A format will help retailers get to know the brands they are about to see in the exhibit area.

“We are excited to bring back the highly successful Boardwalk portion of the Coastal Connections Conference,” says Kristin Ely, Conference Director. “This conference is all about making connections and what better way to do it than in an island paradise like Margaritaville Resort? After a busy trade show season, this intimate setting will be a great way to unwind while also developing meaningful vendor relationships.”

Joey Catrambone of Bags by Bruno was a vendor at the previous two events. He likes the event’s combination of education and buying. “You learn a bit and have fun along the way, so it feels like work and vacation at the same time.”

All attendees will also receive a Welcome Bag filled with product samples from dozens of wholesalers valued at hundreds of dollars.
