Q. What if I've attended a previous Embroidery & Direct-to-Garment Extravaganza show?
A. The Extravaganza registration fee is the same all year round. However, our educational seminars change every year and more get added. In addition, our co-sponsors always present their latest "how to" seminars and display their new products. We recommend you visit us every year to take advantage of all the new business seminars, experience products "hands-on", view new equipment, supplies, designs and meet new embroiderers and screen printers in your area.

Q. How should I dress?
A. We want you to be comfortable, so dress casually. If you wear shorts, t-shirts, sandals, etc. you'll be right at home. However, keep in mind that conference centers/hotels are notorious for keeping their rooms quite cool, so even though it's hot outside, you still may want to bring a sweater it gets cold inside.
