How Metro Came to Be
The association that created Vancouver’s most unique apparel-buying trade show.
In February 2012, the women’s wear and men’s wear associations of WAM and JSIX amalgamated under the B.C. Men’s Apparel Club name and METRO was created. The goal was to create Vancouver’s largest apparel industry buying show, for the mutual benefit of retailers and exhibitors. This affiliation has linked agents and businesses representing all segments of the fashion apparel, footwear, giftware, and sporting goods industries.
Membership is available to Agents and Sales Representatives of:
-The fashion apparel, footwear, accessories, giftware, and sporting goods industry for women, men, and children.
-Related businesses such as retail solutions (retail software, retail business management companies, display & merchandising products, loss prevention).
