Description

The garment decorating industry of today looks nothing like the industry of last year. More than just the styles and decorating techniques have changed. In this changing economy, you need to be smarter, more efficient and more productive than your competitors to survive. You need DAX.

Attendee information

Who May Attend DAX?

Any person interested in attending DAX for the purpose of learning about the industry, discovering new products, or receiving education may do so. There is no need to show any kind of license or prove industry involvement to attend the show. We gladly welcome people who are not currently involved in the garment decorating industry to come and learn more about the industry. There is no better way to find out if working in this industry is right for you than by attending a trade event of this nature.

By legal definition, DAX is an industry trade show and is not 'open to the public.'

Exhibitor information

Management encourages manufacturers and distributors of products and services that might interest garment decorating professionals to exhibit at DAX. If you have a product or service that appeals to the screen printing, embroidery, Direct-to-Garment printing, or heat transfer printing industry, there is no better way to reach your potential clients. Management does not recommend that companies selling non-related products or services such as entertainment, political organizations, or general goods sales apply. The sale of food products not produced by the venue's catering staff is forbidden by contract on the venue premises. The management reserves the right to reject any application to exhibit without need to give cause.

Partner Voices
MGM Resorts is committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse culture, not just among employees and guests but also within its supply chain. The company prioritizes procuring goods and services from businesses owned by minorities, women, veterans, people with disabilities, LGBTQ individuals and those facing economic disadvantages. This commitment is integral to MGM Resorts' global procurement strategy.    Through its voluntary supplier diversity program, MGM Resorts actively identifies and connects certified diverse-owned suppliers to opportunities within its supply chain. The company is on track to spend at least 15% of its biddable procurement with diverse-owned businesses by 2025, demonstrating that supplier diversity is not only a social responsibility but also a strategic business imperative.    Supplier diversity isn’t just the right thing to do – it’s good for business. A diverse supply chain allows access to a broader range of perspectives and experience, helping to drive innovation, entrepreneurship and resilience, while strengthening communities. At MGM Resorts, engaging diverse suppliers ensures best-in-class experiences for guests and clients. Supplier diversity ensures a more resilient supply chain while supporting economic development in the communities in which it operates.   The impact of MGM Resorts' supplier diversity initiatives is significant. In 2023, these efforts supported over 3,500 jobs across more than 30 states, contributed over $214 million in income for diverse-owned businesses and generated more than $62 million in tax revenue. The story extends beyond the numbers – it reflects the tangible benefits brought to small and diverse-owned businesses, fostering economic empowerment in their communities.    MGM Resorts also supports the development and business skills of diverse-owned businesses through investment, mentorship and education. Through the MGM Resorts Supplier Diversity Mentorship Program, the company identifies, mentors and develops diverse-owned businesses to fill its future pipeline, while providing businesses with tools and resources to empower and uplift. Since 2017, the program has successfully graduated 105 diverse-owned businesses and is on track to achieve its goal of 150 graduates by 2025.     MGM Resorts’ commitment to supplier diversity not only enhances its business operations but also plays a crucial role in uplifting communities and fostering economic development. This approach reinforces the idea that diversity is a powerful driver of innovation and resilience, benefiting both the company and the wider community.
