The winter edition of Las Vegas Market promises to offer a lot of bang for visiting retailers’ buck with the rapid expansion of its Gift and Home Temporary Exhibits. This is where you can find 300+ exhibitors with 50+ new exhibitors, significant brand expansions and growth in specialty categories which create a comprehensive and compelling marketplace.
“The Las Vegas Market temporary exhibits have gotten bigger and better every market since we relocated to the Expo,” said Scott Eckman, IMC executive vice president, chief revenue officer. “This unique space is now known as a platform for the right brands and the right buyers to come together driving momentum and bringing even more trendsetting product to Las Vegas Market.”
We are also being told that expo organisers IMC are expanding the industry partner programming and market participation. Visitors and exhibitors can look forward to new programming by the by Interior Design Society (IDS) adding to existing partnerships with American Society of Interior Designers (ASID), Business of Design (BOD) and the Home Furnishings Association (HFA).
