Organisers APLF have announced that the 2007 Prime Source Forum will be held March 29-30, 2007, at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. This second edition follows on from the successful launch in Hong Kong in the spring of 2006 when some 200 senior executives of major brand owners and retailers, manufacturers, service providers and suppliers from 20 countries attended the two-day event (see [http://www.primesourceforum.com]).

Prime Source Forum brings together a unique mix of senior industry executives from the Apparel industry from all over the world who, for two days, participate in a learning and networking experience with their peers.

The event will again be endorsed by the American Apparel and Footwear Association (AAFA), the Foreign Trade Association (FTA) from Europe and the United States Association of Importers of Textile & Apparel (USA ITA).

Commenting on the 2006 Forum, President & Chief Executive Officer of AAFA, Kevin M Burke, said: ‘Prime Source is off to a great start and provided a wonderful opportunity to build business. We believe it will grow stronger as it expands and broadens its exhibitor base in the future. The Forum provided insight and knowledge, as well as an opportunity for connecting with both current and potential customers from many regions of the world. We look forward to continued support of this outstanding event.’
