Impressions Expo, the leading trade show dedicated to the imprinted and decorated-apparel community, with five regional events held annually, has announced its Long Beach event has been canceled, while its Atlantic City event has been postponed.
After closely monitoring the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, speaking at length with members of the garment-decorating community and connecting with local host facilities, Impressions Expo made a few adjustments to its 2021 trade-show schedule.
These adjustments include the cancellation of Impressions Expo Long Beach 2021, which was originally scheduled for April 24-26 in Long Beach, Calif.
The cancellation was due to the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including current government restrictions on congregating and large gatherings imposed by the state of California and other government and public-health authorities; the fact that the Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center remains closed; and the various travel restrictions affecting attendees and participating companies. Maintaining the health and safety of customers, partners and employees remains paramount to the Impressions Expo team.
Additionally, Impressions Expo Atlantic City 2021, originally scheduled for June 24-26, will now be held Aug. 26-28 at the Atlantic City Convention Center.
Continued restrictions and other developments and impacts related to COVID-19 in these regions have made it impossible to effectively host these events during their originally scheduled dates.
