Can This Free Education Portal Work "MAGIC" On The Fashion Industry?

[A]nyone working in the industry of fashion knows the importance of the months August and February.
For the past 85 years, these have been the months that tens of thousands of members from the fashion community descend upon Las Vegas, during the annual MAGIC conference.
The annual exhibitions connect retailers, buyers, manufacturers, distributors, and clothing brands.
Rappers ranging from LL Cool J, Big Sean and Pusha T have launched their clothing lines into the marketplace during the convention.
There’s no doubt that attending MAGIC twice a year can be advantageous, but the trip can be expensive. For merely airfare and hotel, one might spend a few thousand bucks to visit both gatherings.
Thanks to the creators of MAGIC, fashion lovers can acquire invaluable insight into the trade through MAGIC University.
