The innovation that you and the entire fashion industry has been waiting for is finally here: VOCA / Événements expérientiels, a brand-new fashion tradeshow concept as well as its first event, will be officially launched in just a few days.
Helping the fashion industry to grow
As the largest independent tradeshow of its kind, VOCA will cater to all sectors of the fashion industry with an integrated approach focused on the needs of retailers and exhibitors. In other words, VOCA is dedicated to your needs! In fact, VOCA has come to life thanks in part to your invaluable participation during the consultative process overseen by Linda Fortier. This consultation helped organizers understand the huge financial investment and logistical challenges multiple fashion tradeshows created for retailers.
You will be thrilled to learn that VOCA has just eliminated these major issues and developed a concept that will showcase all sectors of the fashion industry and enable retailers to better manage their purchasing and commercialization efforts.
VOCA events, which will be seasonal and/or themed, will offer innovative and exciting programs for retailers and exhibitors alike. Geared towards the latest fashion trends and research and development from local and international brands, VOCA events will be chock-full of opportunities for industry stakeholders to come together, collaborate and innovate. For the first time ever, all industry sectors will be represented: women’s and men’s fashion, junior apparel, lingerie, handbags, footwear, plus sizes, accessories, jewellery, pports apparel, and much more!
