Special Edition | 2019 New York Now

Today we’re back with Part 2 of our NY Now and National Stationery Show recap!

As you may have heard, NSS which was previously held in May, moved to February this year to co-locate with NY Now. 39 of our Paper Camp alumni were exhibiting at the two shows and one of the main questions I had for them was — how have the shows merging affected you?

It was interesting to see the different responses.

If you listen to Part 1 of this series, you’ll hear the that the NSS exhibitors mentioned specific pros and cons of the shows co-locating. But, when I asked the NY Now exhibitors about the effects, they didn’t notice much of a difference.

Many of our NY Now exhibitors have been exhibiting at NY Now for several shows, doing both the summer and winter show. Most used to also do the National Stationery Show when t was in May — so three large NY shows a year. In these interviews you’ll also hear how they are branching out to other shows, and they’ll talk about the difference in these shows and why they ultimately chose NY Now over NSS.

Today’s episode features interviews with Lindsay Henry of Inklings Paperie, Kathryn Hunter of Blackbird Letterpress, Erika Caskey of Chez Gagne, Danelle Bliss of Wishbone Letterpress, Rebekah Tennis of Wild Ink Press, and Victoria Venturi of Paper Epiphanies.

I hope you enjoy this special series!
