In an effort to focus expansion efforts on women’s, accessories and children’s wear shows, ENK International will exit the men’s and footwear business. This transitional direction follows the mid-November acquisition of the company by Advanstar Global, owner of the Magic and Project trade shows.
In January, ENK will fold its ENKNYC men’s trade show into the Project New York show and in the February the ENK Vegas show will move its men’s brands to the Project Vegas show. The ENK WSA show in Las Vegas and the Sole Commerce show in New York will be overseen by Advanstar’s vice president Leslie Gallin, consolidating ENK’s pieds-focused sector under Advanstar.
