“Being a part of the [retail curation & networking program] was the highlight of our week at MAGIC. The MAGIC team connected us with a perfectly paired store; a boutique with similar price points and the exact vibe of our brand. That program allowed us to make not only our first sale but our biggest sale of the week.”

“PROJECT’s [Curation & Networking Program] was a great experience. I like to have brands that are picked out that I maybe wouldn’t necessarily see in the big sea of the show. Brands that I am not familiar with.”

“We come back to MAGIC because it is the only show we get to come to where we can absorb and look around and find new brands. Having the curation & networking program was really nice to see what MAGIC curated for us.”
