Networking
The buzz of business creation…
With over 550 exhibitors from around the world, The Springtime Expo is where business gets done. Partner with the industry's finest meeting suppliers for five and a half hours of uninterrupted expo hall time, to secure your next vendor or meeting destination for the year ahead.
Additionally, Springtime offers preconference and concurrent education sessions that provide ample time for you to meet and greet with your colleagues.
There's even more networking buzz happening outside the tradeshow floor. Here's a list of additional networking opportunities taking place before and after expo hall hours.

As a full day attendee of Springtime, we invite you to come celebrate your designation with familiar and new colleagues and friends at the CMP Celebration Breakfast, sponsored by the Dallas Convention & Visitors Bureau. The experience will be one of camaraderie, fun and will enlighten and educate you. This session will not just quench your hunger but will ignite your sense for fashion, cuisine and food and beverage knowledge. This breakfast experience is during one of the education time banks but will be sure to deliver an educational experience paired with much more. Be sure to reserve your seat when you register for Springtime.
