Online Registration Now Open for Winter 2013 NYIGF

Online registration for the New York International Gift Fair® (NYIGF®) is now open at www.nyigf.com. NYIGF runs Saturday, January 26, through Wednesday, January 30, 2013, at New York City’s Jacob K. Javits Convention Center and Passenger Ship Terminal Piers 92 and 94.

Advance registration, which is available online through 11:59PM (ET) on Tuesday, January 22, 2013, is free to qualified retailers, and $175 for suppliers to the trade. Upon completion of online registration, participants will receive a barcode, which is redeemable for a badge at any of NYIGF’s 70 self-registration terminals located onsite at the Javits Center and Piers 92 and 94. After the January 22 advance registration deadline, attendees must register onsite at NYIGF, at $60 for first-time retailers, $25 for returning retailers, and $200 for suppliers to the trade.

“Using NYIGF.com to register saves market participants both time and money,” said Christian Falkenberg, NYIGF director and GLM vice president. “By registering now, attendees will have ample time pre-market to access and utilize all of NYIGF’s helpful web-based planning tools.”

Through NYIGF.com, market participants can register in advance for educational seminars and “Only In New York” special events, including A Night on Broadway, featuring specially-priced tickets to the Monday, January 28, performance of Disney’sNEWSIES. A complete schedule of these activities is available online at www.nyigf.com/programs.

Additional NYIGF.com features include a keyword search tool which returns detailed product and vendor information, and allows online users to create and save “walking lists” for use onsite during the Fair. NYIGF’s Online Catalog Gallery also offers access to detailed information for thousands of products from exhibiting companies.

A free NYIGF “Wayfinder” mobile application also is available for advance planning and onsite navigation. Using the application, market-goers can find exhibitors and products, as well as seminar, event and shuttle bus schedules and an NYIGF floor plan. Real-time search results include company names, booth numbers, product details and contact information. The Wayfinder app is available by searching NYIGF through iTunes, the Android Market, and BlackBerry App World, or at http://search.nyigf.com/mobile.aspx.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
