Promotions East is the largest branded merchandise and promotional products event in the Northeast and takes place from Oct 2-4, 2023 at Harrah’s Resort in Atlantic City, NJ.
During this session, Cohen will be joined by fellow industry leaders to discuss what Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG), Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), and “Sustainability” means to them, their businesses, and how it’s supported and advocated for within their organizations. They will examine how buying behaviors and consumer expectations have changed and what market trends they are observing, specifically sustainable products.

“We have worked tirelessly to overcome a traditionally wasteful industry, while always prioritizing design, quality and transparency to create an emotional connection between clients and customers through branded merchandise.” said Cohen. “Doing our best wasn’t good enough; we wanted to prove to ourselves, and others, that more can always be done. I am excited to take part in this discussion and share more about our sustainability journey, how we got to where we are as industry leaders, and how other businesses can emulate this process and contribute to a wider global movement.”
Michael Scott Cohen will be in conversation with Doug Jackson (Storm Creek), Kate Nash (Raining Rose), Bill Roman (Orbus) and Megan Spire (BELLA+CANVAS) on Wednesday, October 4th at 10:00am/EST at the Education Hub, Avalon Exhibit Hall, 2nd Floor.
