March 3, 2008

NEW YORK, New York -- New developments by George Little Management, LLC, feature collaborative shows and educational programs to call attention to two May textile tradeshows.

SURTEX, owned and managed by GLM, will feature a conference program titled "The Business of Art…Fundamental Strategies for Success" with a sunset cruise to follow. Also, GLM and Immagine Italia & Co. have announced a partnership that will exhibit at the 2008 Global Home Textiles show.

SURTEX, which runs from May 18-20 at New York City's Javits Convention Center, will include a conference focusing on business, licensing, and the latest trends in design. The program will be led by international trend forecasters Milou Ket Styling & Design and Promostyl. The convention will include nine seminars that comprehensively discuss the three tracks. Following the convention will be a "Cruise and Connect" networking party that includes dinner and dancing. SURTEX will feature 400 exhibitors and attract 6,000 in trade attendance.

Global Home Textiles will run May 6-8, 2008, at the Sands Expo & Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV, and showcase its new area for high-end product and distinctive customized booths. The partnership between GLM and Immagine Italia & Co. brings 10-12 Italian upscale home fashion companies together to exhibit luxury bed, bath and table linens. "We are looking forward to having these well-known and respected Italian companies participate in Global Home Textiles. The exceptional quality of their offerings will set the standard for Luxe Living," said Penny Sikalis, vice president, global business development. "Global Home Textiles provides a prime opportunity for these important companies to reach the American market."
