Top 3 Best Large Booth Experience: I look at cohesiveness of the brand from the design of the booth to the images used to represent the brand, the trained sales people to customer experience within the booth. When I go into a booth, it should be pretty easy for me to understand the story of the brand and feel the culture of the brand. The experience within the booth should make me want to be a part of the brand and wear the brand. Make sense?

At the Dolce Vita booth, we love the décor, the chocolate skulls and the "come into my home"

type of experience when you walk into the booth. Very warm and inviting. It was as if I was getting

a tour of someone's home, where each room I can try on shoes or bags.

Top 3 Best Smaller Booth (<400sqft) Experience:

Since 1999 I don't think Steve Madden's booth has changed much. Other than space size, it has definitely stayed true to the brand, simple and all about the shoes. Steve is still making good shoes at affordable prices 26 yrs later and rumored to have a net worth of $120 Million.

Congratulations!!! VANS celebrating their 50 Years Anniversary.
