The big thing that exhibitions like this do is bring people together. Yes, there’s the investment in a booth, space, advertising, and showing the latest trends, but the bigger value is connecting — understanding what’s new in the industry, where it’s headed, and what we need to do 6 months to a year from now. Everything in the market now has already shipped; we’re looking ahead to future seasons. Events like this help us connect with competitors, peers, and even ‘frenemies’ to see what’s going on. There’s absolutely a lot of benefit.

Senior Director Materials · PUMA Group Sourcing
APLF is a great place not only to showcase products but to connect the entire industry in one location. It’s where we meet suppliers who bring something new — whether it’s innovation, sustainability, competitive pricing, or a unique fashion angle — and who can meet Puma’s strict quality, performance, and compliance standards. Hong Kong makes it easy for everyone to come together, and the organisation is smooth, giving suppliers the right space to present themselves. Events like APLF are key for meeting new suppliers and discovering innovations all in one place.
