A recent wave of late demand for booth space at Spry Lifestyle reached a tipping point a week ago causing show organizers to go on the hunt for a solution.

Space at the Embassy Grand was at a premium even back in January 2013. Having opened the 2014 Winter Show for booth bookings at the Summer Market Show with rapid space pick-up, orders continued to trickle in even as late as yesterday with the Embassy Grand having been sold out back in October.

Fortunately show organizers have been able to secure the use of the Grand Empire Convention Centre located conveniently on the opposite side of The Gore Road to the Embassy Grand Convention Centre. From winter boots to lifestyle accessories, the exhibitors in this specialty hall comprise a combination of existing Spry footwear brand exhibitors and numerous new footwear exhibitors to the Spry Show.

While the new hall is very close by, there will be transportation provided to go back and forth between the two. Visitors can pick up the shuttle outside the main entrances of both halls.

Complimentary light lunch and hot and cold refreshments will also be served in the Grand Empire each day.

The exhibitor list has been updated to reflect the new hall. Exhibitors located in the new hall are identified by GE at the beginning of their booth number.
