The bedding makers are ready to hit the show floor once again as the ISPA EXPO is all set to be held from March 8 to 10 at the Orange County Convention Center (OCCC) in Orlando, Florida. Mattress producers from all over the world would attend the ISPA Expo to connect with the people, products, ideas and opportunities that set the pace for the mattress industry’s future, according to an official press release. This is the only trade fair devoted to the bedding industry.
“The ISPA Expo is a terrific way for us to meet with prospective manufacturers to join our network of 80 licensees worldwide. We offer more brands and collections than other licensing organizations, making us a very attractive alternative for manufacturers looking to increase their business,” said BIA president and CEO, Stuart Carlitz. “What makes our organization
so different is not only the multitude of products that our licensees gain access to but also that we increasingly deliver sales to our factories.”
This year’s event will be the first ISPA EXPO held in four years, as the 2020 edition was dropped owing to the Covid-19 pandemic.
