Agenda

  • Services: The Agenda trade show is a forum for the most inspired in the streetwear and action-sports industries to unite.

From the garage-run lines on the verge of explosion to the well-established elite, Agenda caters to the needs of buyers and brands that exist on a higher level of design and aesthetic. With a strong emphasis in style, art, music, and culture, the Agenda experience is as much a lesson as it is a tool. Make sure to come to Agenda's Las Vegas show Aug. 19–20 at the Sands Expo center, or for more info go to our website.
