SHOW GUIDE 24 - 25 November 2018 Wanna be social? Hashtag AQM - #aqm2018 Follow AQM on INSTAGRAM @aqm_australian_quilt_market Australia’s Annual Wholesale Trade Show for the Quilting & Patchwork Industry WELCOME TO AQM 2018! This year, we celebrate our 20th Anniversary. We have come a long way from hiring 15 rooms in a boutique Japanese hotel in Little Bourke Street - to the Travel Lodge – to the old casino building – to Rod Laver Arena and, finally, to the MCEC (Jeff’s Shed), our home for the last ten years. You will note our new AQM Logo with the ‘eye-catching’ colouration, which has been carried through to our upgraded ‘user-friendly’ website. We welcome Jenny & Helen, our Special Guest Presenters, from “Sew Kind Of Wonderful” and I am confident you will enjoy their presentation in our “Show & Share Theatre” on Saturday evening. Our “Show & Share” 20 minute presentations on both mornings represent tremendous value and continue with the theme of introducing new products and ideas to improve your business. Many new exhibitors join us for the first time and I trust you will give all of them some of your valuable time and support. Enjoy the show!
