ATLANTA SHOE MARKET CANCELLED DUE TO GROWING CONCERNS OVER COVID-19 VIRUS After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to cancel The Atlanta Shoe Market, scheduled for August 22-24 in Atlanta, GA. Following increased and overwhelming concerns about the COVID-19 virus, we felt this was the best way to proceed during this unprecedented situation. We are very disappointed that we are unable to hold this event for our companies and retailers. We do know that... it’s the right decision based on the information we have today, as our first concern is for the safety of everyone. A short time ago we felt optimistic that August was far enough away to confidently proceed with our plans, as it stands today (July 13) we cannot guarantee that safety as this virus is spreading throughout our country once again. Our team will be reaching out directly to those exhibitors that are currently registered. Please accept our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. We would like to thank everyone for supporting The Atlanta Shoe Market during these last five months. We look forward to seeing you at February 20-22, 2021 Atlanta Shoe Market. Sincerely, Laura Conwell-O’Brien Executive Director Atlanta Shoe Market

Even during these difficult times, Easter reminds us of what’s important. From our family here at #TheAtlantaShoeMarket to our #TASMFamily audience everywhere, we wish you a #HappyEaster Stay Safe Stay Healthy #TASM2020 #TASMCares

In times like these, it’s important to keep practicing the things that make our communities strong. From the #TASMFamily to yours #HappyPassover celebration.

In order to ensure a future where your business not only survives, but thrives, it is critical to anticipate what a post-pandemic world will look like, and then begin to transform your retail business to better match this new reality. #RetailMatters #TASMCares #TASM2020 https://www.forbes.com//the-impact-of-covid-19-on-us-bran/

The community goal for ALL retail brands should be one that reconciles store closures with protecting our supply chain. We must avoid drastic actions that negatively affect the supply chain. In times of crisis, we must all work together for the future of our industry. #TASMCares #TASM2020 Read more here: https://www.just-style.com//apparel-industry-in-crisis-why

Retailers employ millions of Americans. Recently, retail industry icon Tory Burch made a personal appeal to the Federal Government to help the fashion industry save millions of jobs, and stimulate the economy. Join Tory in saving jobs in our industry. #TASMCares #TASM2020 #RetailJobsMatter https://www.forbes.com//tory-burch-millions-of-retail-job/

The fashion industry is a critical part of our economy, and during the COVID 19 crisis, we’ve pivoted to providing masks and PPE’s (Personal Protective Equipment). #FashionCares #TASMNotes #TASMCares #TASM2020 Read more here: https://www.cnn.com//fashion-industry-masks-pro/index.html

Here at TASM, we are committed to providing valuable information to our audience. During this time of crisis, rather than the often humorous content of the past, we will focus on helping you cope with posts that inform, uplift and motivate. We will still find ways to entertain and make you smile. We know you look to us for that. In this story, we highlight how even though many small retailers are being impacted by having to shutter their doors as non-essential businesses, one Asheville retailer, Embellish, shares how her community is coming together to help retailers survive and stay relevant. #TASMCares #SupportSmallBusinesses #TASM2020 https://www.cnbc.com//how-small-businesses-across-us-are-c
