NACS Presents CAMEX 2001
Staff -- Gifts & Decorative Accessories, 3/1/2001
Sponsored by the National Association of College Stores (NACS), CAMEX 2001, a trade show for the college retail market, is slated for April 6-10 in New Orleans. CAMEX will present a wide selection of products that will compete for market share on college campuses next fall. The weeklong event will include appearances and signings by authors Sister Helen Prejean and Bebe Moore Campbell, as well as three days of educational sessions for college store managers. More than 600 exhibitors will participate, hosting some 1,300 booths. NACS has been sponsoring the CAMEX show since 1945. According to the NACS, college retailing represents approximately $100 billion in annual spending, and college stores in the United States and Canada account for nearly 10 percent of those sales. The NACS, Oberlin, OH, is a professional trade organization representing more than 2,800 collegiate retailers and 1,000 associate members.
