=====================================================================

The ASI Show, a renowned event in the ad specialty industry, took place on May 8 and 9, 2013, and moved to the North Pavilion at the Javits Center in New York, offering a brighter and more modern space for exhibitors. Over 2,000 distributors from 10 countries attended the show in 2013, and the following year, ASI announced a shift in the dates of the New York show to Thursday, April 3, and Friday, April 4, 2014.

The show featured a crowded show floor, standing-room-only keynote, free business-building education, 11 distinct distributor meetings, and sizzling networking opportunities. Attendees and exhibitors could attend classes, meet with clients and prospects, and browse the show floor for new product ideas before enjoying a weekend in the city.

One of the highlights of the 2013 show was the keynote presentation by Buddy Valastro, known as "The Cake Boss". Valastro shared business tips and inspired the audience with his personal story. In 2014, Buddy Valastro Jr. also gave a keynote speech, offering advice to stay true to their roots, remember where they come from, and always be humble and respectful.

Popular workshops included the AdSpecialty Crash Course: Sell Successfully Now and the Distributor Success Lunch: Use Social Media for Sales Success. ASI Education was offered, and attendees could earn credit toward their ASI Certification.

Carey Seekell, from Culver Company, found ASI New York to be worth her time and a valuable industry event. Scott Goldman from Into Graphics appreciated ASI for inviting Buddy Valastro as a keynote speaker, finding him inspiring. Wendy Cohen, from Avant Guard Printing and Promotions, found numerous new products at ASI New York and recommended the show to others.

The annual Hot Party took place at 230 Fifth rooftop nightclub, sponsored by AlightPromos, AIA Corporation, Delta Apparel, Castelli North America, and Chulani. In 2013, ASI named the industry's hottest trendsetters at the Hot Party.

In 2013, 275 suppliers showcased their newest ad specialty products, and in 2014, Valastro presented ASI New York with a unique cake from Carlo's Bakery, sponsored by Showdown Displays. The ASI Show New York 2014 keynote presentation was not explicitly identified in the provided search results.

In conclusion, the ASI Show New York provided a valuable platform for distributors, exhibitors, and suppliers to connect, learn, and discover new trends in the ad specialty industry. The event's move to the North Pavilion and shift in dates seemed to have been well-received, and attendees found the workshops, keynote speeches, and product showcase worth their time.
