What Footwear Show New York Expo does

Footwear Show New York Expo (FSNYE) is a privately held, founder-owned B2B trade show management company founded in 2019 by Phyllis Rein, a footwear industry veteran with 30+ years of experience including a tenure as Executive Vice President at the Fashion Footwear Association of New York (FFANY). The company produces two annual hotel-room trade shows during FFANY Market Week at the Park Lane New York Hotel (36 Central Park South, Manhattan), where exhibitors transform luxury hotel suites into immersive footwear and handbag showrooms for visiting retailers and buyers. No membership is required to attend.

FSNYE's core product is the physical trade show itself, supported by a portfolio of paid add-ons: exhibitor hotel-room packages (city view to penthouse suites, pricing not publicly disclosed), directory advertising in both printed and interactive digital formats ($725 full-page, $1,200 back cover), tiered sponsorship packages ($1,600 Brand Awareness, $2,500 Morning Coffee & Tea, custom Premium Visibility), New York Showroom Listings ($975 standalone, $1,600 bundled with ads), and bundled placements in industry publications Footwear News and Footwear Plus. The interactive digital directory reaches 2,000+ retailers and exhibitors via the Flipsnack platform. Strategic partners include Springboard (official display fixtures), FFANY (Market Week ecosystem), Park Lane New York Hotel (venue), SAFLEC (South African brand pavilion), and Footwear News / Footwear Plus (media). The company employs 1-10 people, has never raised institutional funding, and operates as a woman-owned business.
