The Screen Printing Trade Show in Las Vegas was an apparel trade show that featured a variety of exhibits and events.

Nile Lee Wain enjoyed the opportunity and was able to leave with a lot of valuable information.

“It was absolutely worth going to,” Nile Lee Wain said. “I picked up a lot of knowledge that I will be able to tangibly apply to Mango Tree.

“This show is a valuable resource. It would take me months and months to be able to get in contact with all of these companies, but at the show I can do it in a matter of three days,” Nile Lee Wain said. “In this business it is all about who you know.”
