Trade Show Update: Piercing Ken Is Approved For Curve New York Summer Showcase 2024

Hello my friends and good morning to you all. As previously mentioned, I’ve been using the Ken Pierce Media website as the senior editorial voice on sharing some of the approvals that we are getting for the pair of websites under our creative command. Since our launch in the middle of the pandemic 2020, I’ve been doing my best to have KPM be the executive branch and it continues to flow very smoothly which is a very good thing. That being said, a good friend in content creation and business advisory suggested that I keep each particular show to the website that was being credentialed. This way, the outlet that met the approval still gets a post out of it and the KPM branding was going to share the post anyway. This leads me t sharing that I have just received word that my Piercing Ken website, aka “The Chronicles of Piercing Ken” has been approved as media for the just around the corner Curve New York Summer Showcase which will be held at the Javits Center.

For those who don’t know what the Curve Expo is, it’s a lingerie and intimates showcase that also offers up some swimwear and accessories if those vendors choose to display. They have a few shows over the course of the year with one being in Los Angeles and another in New York and that is the one that I attend. I have forgotten how we began to do this one but it might have been related to some of the fashion stuff I was covering and this trade show continues to be trickier than some of the other ones in terms of getting the best information and photos. Trade show are all about doing business and you don’t want to interrupt when deals are being made. Since this is a lingerie show, there are models and some of them are barely covered up so you have to be cautious about camera use. I will also be doing double-duty at this one since NY NOW’s own Summer Showcase will be taking place on the main floor of the Javits at the same time. Once again I can admit that I wasn’t sure about attending but after being contacted by some of the attendees and their own team I decided to pull the trigger. I am hoping to get more exhibitor interviews for the Official YouTube Channel for Piercing Ken since that side of the fence has been super thriving. Are you subscribed to that yet? If not please give it a whirl as I think you will like it. To entice you, there’s a special Curve New York Playlist that you can enjoy by clicking HERE. Thanks for reading, I will see you all again very soon as we continue to share the stories on the two sites and come up with new editorials here. To say that this is a busy website would be an understatement. Ciao.
