MSPA-NA ShopperFest 2017??

October 11, 2016 11:33PM
I have some airline credits expiring in 48 hours and wonder if anyone knows the location and dates of MSPA ShopperFest 2017. I checked the site but found nothing about this event. I'm all set now for IMSC and VideoCon17.

mom,
If you are going to the other two conferences, why add the MSPA one? There really is a Law of Diminishing Returns! I vote for using those credits for a vacation, maybe even one that has a bunch of shops to pay for food and lodging!

Based in MD, near DC
Shopping from the Carolinas to New York
Have video cam; will travel

Poor customer service? Don't get mad; get video.

Thanks all! Hope to see you at one of the conferences. I'll plan on Orlando in June and will combine it with mystery shops/vacation.

Why not encourage people to attend different conferences? Let each person make their own decision which one they like better. Just like some shoppers like FF shops versus fine dining shops, shoppers will have different needs and desires when it comes to conferences. The best way to make a decision it to attend one of each and find which one works best for that person. Variety is the spice of life.

And some are even free of bedbugs ;-).

You're right, though. Even in downtown Manhattan, the Russian HIE is no more expensive than, say, Los Angeles. I think people assume that because it's NYC, everything is outrageous. Well, yes, if you want to stay in The Barclay, but there are some really inexpensive places in Secaucus; and, if it's not summer when you can smell the dump, Staten Island is way cheap. Plus, airfare to NY is cheap (at least to Newark).

Now scheduling travel shops for the day after Christmas through mid-January.
