B2B fashion marketplace FashionGo is launching an offline wholesale trade event in Palm Springs, with another event planned for New York. The company hopes to bring its digital platform to life in 2022 and has plans for additional offline trade events in the future.

The Palm Springs event will take place from May 3-5, and the release notes that the city originally hosted the first-ever wholesale, in-person apparel market 80 years ago. “FashionGo Week Palm Springs will combine the creativity, rich experience, and sense of community of in-person fashion markets with the convenience, speed, and efficiency of FashionGo’s powerful technology and data-driven tools,” the press release claims.

Tom Nastos, who co-leads the FashionGo Events team alongside Scott Chowan, said there would be “an experienced and empowered team of innovative creators and connectors who are passionate in their support of the wholesale fashion and lifestyle communities.” “Together, we are focused on building a premier portfolio of specialty events, offering new opportunities and solutions that are just right for all of our customers,” Nastos continued, per the release. Both Nastos and Chowan have experience in fashion trade shows, and the report notes that businesses will be able to make use of digital tools and other innovations to support business growth beyond live events.

FashionGo recently rolled out plans for an automated payments service to debut this year. Its intent, per PYMNTS, is to help retailers get better at order and fulfillment processing. The service, called FashionGo Dropshipping, integrates with users’ Shopify stores and will be free for all new and registered buyers. It’s due to launch this month and will onboard U.S. vendors with inventory on hand, who are also ready to process and ship within a week.

Paul Lee, president of FashionGo parent NHN Global, said the service will “provide buyers and vendors big and small [with] new opportunities in a quickly growing retail industry.”
