The enthusiastic response to USE 2024, the previous, hat-trick edition, clearly reflected how the constant emphasis on raising benchmarks and expanding the scope of the event each time has paid rich dividends for all stakeholders associated with the show. USE 2024, was noteworthy in many ways. The co-located event, Daily Wear Expo made a noteworthy debut and a Panel Discussion on ‘Sustainable School Uniforms: Dressing Future Generations Responsibly,’ was also conducted.
Most importantly, the ‘Top 25 School Educators in Mumbai’ Awards were then presented to some of the leading names from the field, which included senior educators, principals and senior management. Their presence at the exhibition and during the panel discussion session provided them a rare opportunity to grasp the different facets relating to sustainability and uniforms and also interact with key stakeholders, ensuring a holistic approach and participation across the spectrum.
The exhibitor feedback to USE 2024 was full of praise for the organisers and the event in terms of facilities and visitor turnout, with a visible impact on their businesses.
