QUOTES FROM THE 2008 SHOWS 

"The Action Expos are a great way for retailers to get out of the store and focus on their seasonal buys. Throw in the opportunity to surf, skate, dine, party and possibly even win some money with your reps and corporate heads [In Atlantic City] and it makes the whole experience a no-brainer".-Tony Lincoln, Volcom, Electric, Vestal

"Great Show! I got several weeks worth of road work done in two days! Seeing that many key accounts in that short a period of time is the only way to meet our industry's ever-demanding deadline schedule." -Alan Brown, Rip Curl USA, Sector 9 Skateboards

“The Action Expo has proven to become a very important part of the buying calendar for all surf/skate lifestyle retailers in the Northeast.  Not only does it provide a convenient venue to view the strengths and weaknesses of the majors but it also provides the opportunity for many younger brands to showcase their product in front of the best buyers in the region.”
-Kevin Morris, Heritage Surf and Sport

"Best working show in the industry, No hassles just come in and get your work done."
-Dan Hopkins, Quiksilver

"The Action Expo is always one of the best shows in the country! I have done the show circuit for years and the AC Convention Center works out great! This year's Spring 2008 show was a huge success with great attendance and results!"
-Brendan Hanley, Billabong USA, Von Zipper Eyewear

"The Action Expo is truly a world-class environment serving a world-class action sports retailing region! I completed virtually all of my work before deadline at a fraction of the price compared to going on the road; it truly saves everyone tons of time and money. Easily the most efficient way to get the critical buying and selling done!"
-Mike Freihofer, Hurley
