It’s hard to believe, but the year is already flying by. I can’t believe it’s May.

Over the past five months, the Promotions East Committee has been working tirelessly to create a truly reimagined, immersive brand experience for our industry. I am incredibly proud of this committee of volunteers and industry peers. They are working so hard to create something truly special for you, the SAAGNY community. Every detail has been thoughtfully designed to bring something new, engaging, and impactful to everyone who attends. With just seven weeks to go, we’re incredibly grateful for the strong support and enthusiasm from those who have already registered. Your commitment is what’s helping make this event something special.

We’re also incredibly excited to welcome Daymond John as our keynote speaker. Daymond is the Founder and CEO of FUBU, a global lifestyle brand with over $6 billion in sales, and a longtime investor on ABC’s Shark Tank. A branding expert, entrepreneur, and New York Times bestselling author, he has built a career helping businesses grow and scale through smart strategy and powerful storytelling. Bringing his experience, vision, and insight to the Promotions East stage is something we’re truly thrilled about, and it will be a highlight of this year’s event.

If you haven’t registered yet, there’s still time, and we’d love to have you join us.

For those who are already planning their experience, here are a few things to keep in mind:

Exhibitors: Think beyond the display. Create engaging, interactive experiences that help your distributor partners shine and truly stand out with their clients.

Distributors: Bring your clients and come ready to educate, connect, and explore. This is your opportunity to strengthen relationships and create meaningful, lasting impressions.

We’re not done yet! Stay tuned for even more exciting announcements in the weeks ahead.

We can’t wait to see you in June.
