Stage Dancewear UKThe Super Convention was our second experience with CYD? and it certainly did not disappoint. We had an incredible weekend, not only being able to sell our many brands, but also the exposure the event provides, both at the event and afterwards. We met so many of our #stagedancewearfamily there and had many more join us too. The support from the CYD? team was incredible, from initial enquiry to the event itself. It was so lovely to work with such a professional, friendly and welcoming team and the event was so well organised. We loved our stand position, LOVED the buzz and atmosphere…. and to be exhibiting amongst the dance world’s leading brands and names was just fantastic for us. It was great to network with other exhibitors. All in all a brilliant success for us so much so we had no hesitation in signing up for next year!
Performers CollegeCYD? has been a great platform to help Performers College target audiences all over the UK. It is a great event that allows us to connect with teachers, parents and students. We always get a warm welcome from the CYD? team! – Tracey Lee, Principal of Performers College
