Uniform & Sportswear Expo (USE) 2024 – Venue Changes, Same Dates
25 October 2024: Third edition of Uniform & Sportswear Expo (USE) will be held as scheduled in Mumbai from November 21-23 at ahll No. 2, Bombay Exhibition Centre, Goregaon (East), Mumbai, Maharashtra.
When the assembly elections for Maharashtra state were announced recently, exhibitors and visitors to the third edition of Uniform & Sportswear Expo (USE) 2024 had already marked their calendars and finalised travel arrangements. Concerns about restricted access to Nehru Centre venue on the show dates for India’s leading B2B expo on the uniform & sportswear industry, coinciding with the election dates had to be addressed and quickly.
The organisers, Vibgyor Expositions, therefore decided to retain the event city and the dates to facilitate them, shifting only the venue to the much more easily accessible Bombay Exhibition Centre, Goregaon. Yes, Mumbai will once again be hosting Uniform & Sportswear Expo (USE) from November 21-23, 2024, this time with a new co-located event, Daily Wear Expo making its debut and being held parallelly !
This unique platform for the B2B industry has been conceptualised with an aim to create an interactive market and that organised interface has been evident year after year. The three-day event enables discussions with a relevant visitor profile, while showcasing varied products and related services in an enabling environment.
Vibgyor Expositions, have been conducting the pre-event promotions in full swing and also taken a strategic decision to ensure their presence at important centres and explore key markets to ensure even greater returns to the exhibitors and visitors. From knowledge seminars to online podcasts with Principals of prominent schools sharing their views on the industry as well as the significance of uniform & sportswear, it has been a focused approach where all roads converge at Mumbai November 21-23 where this this ‘must attend’ B2B expo will once again connect stakeholders from across the nation.
This approach marks the next step of USE’s evolutionary journey as it strides forward on the path to progress. This three-day event provides the freedom to interact in a focused manner with a relevant visitor profile, while showcasing varied products and related services in an enabling environment.
Commenting on the upcoming edition of USE, Devang N. Sheth, Director, Vibgyor Expositions, the event organisers, said, “With each edition of Uniform & Sportswear Expo, the response from exhibitors and visitors rises to greater heights. Our database expands further and our promotional activities like roadshows, print and social media marketing enable us to make a greater impact. We are looking forward to further progress in the 2024 edition with the scope of show expanding as Daily Wear gets co-located, thereby ensuring even better results for the exhibitors who can showcase their wider range. We have the support of prominent associations and publications as always, so we welcome all those connected with this industry to Uniform & Sportswear Expo 2024, in Mumbai!”
