Topps reaches an agreement to become a major sponsor for the upcoming 2011 Collectibles Industry Summit. The agreement will hopefully provide America’s hobby shops with additional access, information and accountability regarding the products they are selling.
The Topps Company, Inc., the exclusive producer of Major League Baseball trading cards, has agreed to become a major sponsor of The Industry Summit, the leading trade event for sports and entertainment collectible leaders.
Under the agreement, Topps will host a new and exciting Topps Retailing for Success Seminar hosted by Alan Narz on Monday, March 21, the first day of the 2011 Summit. This special event will also include a question-and-answer session with executives from Topps, as well as exclusive previews of Topps' upcoming products and a fast-paced retailer-education segment.
"The Summit is the premiere trade event in our industry, and it's appropriate that Topps takes a strong leadership position at this important gathering,'' said John Buscaglia, Topps VP Sales. "We look forward to working with our clients and business partners to create a memorable and valuable experience for everyone who attends the 2011 Summit.''
