We were thrilled this year to be a part of ITMA Showtime’s 50th Edition. The show consistently offers a vital connection with our existing relationships and new customers.
ITMA Showtime, which is the largest decorative fabric show in the United States, has been bringing together buyers and exhibitors for 25 years. As the show continues to grow and expand, Showtime’s Executive Director, Catherine Morsell, has done an excellent job of keeping the show fresh and interesting by including social events that allow members to mix and mingle with customers that may not have had previous appointments.
Social events like the Gala create camaraderie and strengthen the industry,” Morsell expresses.
We agree! This fall, the Showtime Gala was held in celebration of the 50th Edition of the show – the first of its kind. A Founder’s scholarship was given in honor of the founding board members. Additionally, industry awards were given for buyers, representatives and companies who demonstrated leadership and innovation.
The industry awards, voted on by both members and buyers, celebrated our very own Bo Gravely as the Outstanding Leather Representative in the industry! We could not be more proud of Bo and his well-deserved achievement. Congratulations Bo! In the words of Moore & Giles’ president, Sackett Wood…
This is an honor personally for Bo as well as for Moore and Giles and no one is more deserving of it in my opinion. Bo sets a high standard of excellence when it comes to his dedication and incredibly strong work ethic. He is well liked and respected by all of his customers and always seems to strike the correct balance of doing what is right for our customers while protecting the interests of the company. He has quickly become a leader in our industry and this award is a testament to that leadership and is richly deserved.” – Sackett Wood
