Registration for Summer 2021 Market runs Aug. 22 – Aug. 26.

“There’s an industry-wide need for product and Las Vegas Market is prepared to help meet that demand,” said IMC CEO Bob Maricich. “April Market was an important first step towards business recovery for the western states, and we look forward to continued progress by connecting buyers and suppliers again this August.”

This summer, attendees will find a depth and breadth of new, innovative and best-selling products on a campus that features 4,300-plus furniture, gift and home décor resources across three showroom buildings (A, B and C) and in the temporary exhibits located in the Expo at World Market Center Las Vegas.
