Hey Friends! I just got back from NY Now and the National Stationery Show in New York where more than 39 Tradeshow Bootcamp alumni and speakers exhibited this year. It was an incredible trip, for everyone from first timers to seasoned pros, and I'm so excited to share the highlights with you on the Podcast this week!

This year is the first time that these two shows have run at the same time. The National Stationery Show has typically been held in May, but moved for February to co-locate with NY Now. The move of NSS caused a bit of a stir within our industry, and our Tradeshow Bootcamp community and the move of the show is one of the topics we're addressing on the episodes this week.

We had alumni exhibiting at both NY Now and the National Stationery show, so we decided to break up this week's episode into two parts.

On Part 1, airing today, we revisit the best parts of the National Stationery Show with Cecily Moore of The Paper Curator, Jenna Puente of Paper Wilderness, Rosanna Kvernmo of Iron Curtain Press, Genesis Duncan of Graphic Anthology, Krystal Whitten of Krystal Whitten Studio and Joe Mihalow of XOU.

Part 2 will air on Thursday and features alumni that exhibited at NY Now

I hope you enjoy this special series!

ON TODAY'S EPISODE:

Cecily Moore, The Paper Curator

Jenna Puente, Paper Wilderness

Rosanna Kvernmo, Iron Curtain Press
