POOLtradeshow, the industry's incubator for connecting buyers to brands since 2001 continues to develop value for exhibitors and buyers with their new home at the Las Vegas Convention Center and appointment of industry veteran Stephanie Seeley as Show Manager. The progression from the LVCC Gold Lot into the LVCC follows the recent success of the August 2007 show, which experienced a 94% increase in retail buyer traffic since August 2006 at the Mandalay Bay.

Located in the LVCC Central Hall adjacent to Magic, POOL has the opportunity to connect buyers to brands more than ever. POOL's easily accessible location features separate outdoor entrances steps away from the 100,000 plus Magic attendees as well as the direct shuttle transportation circulating between the LVCC and sister show Project. Unchanged will be the intimate and relaxed atmosphere for conducting business, which made POOL an industry favorite since 2001.

Overseeing the new developments is Director of Operations Mindy Wiener and new Show Manager Stephanie Seeley. Together Wiener and Seeley designed key elements of the recent POOL 14 including the show floor layout, art direction, and new eco area entitled s(eco)nd. Seeley has proven to be a tremendous contribution to POOL. As the former head buyer of American Rag and attendee of POOL, Seeley brings a valuable buyers
perspective and a keen sense of industry needs and trends.

POOLtradeshow looks forward to building on the success of the August 2007 show and designing a creative outlet for years to follow. POOL 15 will be held at LVCC Central Hall, February 12-14, 2008.
