Attendee Testimonials

"I have been in the specialty leasing industry for over twenty-five year and believe the most important part of my job is finding new unique concepts. The 2008 Spree show had several great manufactures that I hope to find owner operators for and get the concept."Anita Blackford, Feldman Mall Properties

"Fantastic new retail concepts; great energy; manufacturers and retailers were well presented; venue for the show was fun and offered attendees the opportunity to see great retail venues outside of the show."Anita Saleh, Taubman

"Specialty retail is a unique industry. Everyone in this industry is always looking for information. It is great to have so much information and education in one location. Of course, I think Las Vegas is the perfect place for a convention."Linda Rienzo, Freemont Street Experience

"The show was a great opportunity to see developers who were interested in increasing their specialty revenue!! It was an effective way to meet and work with multiple developers in one venue! I look forward to next year!"Jen Millard, EVP Channels Zoom Systems

"I thought the conference was great. I also liked that it was in Vegas, there were a lot of great concepts there and the show was very worthwhile."Elissa Kraft, Macerich

"I look forward to next year's SPREE!"Svetla Entcheva, Original Trade Shows

"As someone who has been around the temporary leasing world for a decade or two, I found the Boston SPREE show to be a great resource! The suppliers at SPREE and in the magazine understand the needs of the kiosk operator. They offer unique and focused product lines with sufficient margins. And there were concepts there with a proven track record." Lionel Binnie, Specialty Kiosk Tenant/Operator

"My wife and I were at SPREE East. We found a retail concept that we purchased. It ended up being our highest grossing product ever--in more than 25 years in the industry." Gary Garabedian, Aah la Cart

"We attended the Boston Spree Show as an exhibiter and the Long Beach, CA show as an attendee. In both instances we were able to network with Specialty Retail people and gather insight into the kiosk business! The classroom sessions were headed up by individuals who have years of experience in the field and were most helpful in answering specific questions regarding kiosk management. All this and we had a great time too! We had a lot of fun at the Spree late night planned activities!" Jerry Griffin, Senior Vice President, Fridgeframe.com

"We feel that the SPREE show creates a great opportunity for current or potential cart and kiosk operators to get one on one time to talk about the various products with the owners of the wholesale companies." Jonathan Hall & Kurt Brock, Roboelectronics
