Kingpins New York announces change of dates for June event

New York’s annual denim trade event Kingpins will be changing dates this year, moving from June 8-9 to June 12-13. The show’s organizers said that the dates were changed because the original ones were too close to Ramadan and the Kingpins Hong Kong Show, which takes place May 15-16.

The Kingpins Transformers event - a summit series spotlighting sustainable innovations in the denim industry - will be brought a day forward to June 11. New York Denim Days, however, will keep its original dates on June 8-9. “Our new June 12-13 dates allow us to accommodate our exhibitors and attendees and best serve our community,” said founder of Kingpins, Andrew Olah, in a statement.

This year’s Kingpins New York will celebrate the event’s 15th year, and will take place at Pier 36 (299 South Street).
