Three significant new permanent showrooms included Parker James, Elaine Smith and Sunset West. Additionally, a signed agreement with the International Casual Furnishings Association will keep the event in Chicago at the Merchandise Mart through 2022.

"This is the first time we’re showing our Klaussner Outdoor Line,” said Gary McCray of first-time exhibitor Klaussner Outdoor. “It’s a great opportunity for us to debut new products in front of the biggest group of buyers all in one place. We've enjoyed seeing all of the people in the industry. The Casual Market made our entrance into this arena a very successful one.”

Next year's show, Sept. 16-19, will run Wednesday through Saturday due to Rosh Hashanah.
