January 11, 2017  by Larry Thomas in Industry, Las Vegas, Market, Special Events   

Market officials said the gift, home, handmade and design categories will occupy Pavilion 1, while an exhibit area labeled Discoveries: The Antique Vintage Marketplace will occupy Pavilion 2.

Officials said exhibit areas in the gift and handmade categories are sold out, while the design, home and discovery areas are significantly larger than previous markets.

“Las Vegas Market continues to experience exceptionally high levels of demand for temporary exhibition space, and we will welcome nearly 200 new and returning companies for the forthcoming winter Market,” said Dorothy Belshaw, president of gift leasing for International Market Centers. “As the nation’s fastest growing gift and home décor market, Las Vegas Market gives buyers an ever-increasing number of resources to surprise and delight their customers.”

Beyond exhibits, the Pavilions will offer retailers a variety of amenities and activities. Schedule highlights follow, with complete details and registration available online at www.lasvegasmarket.com/seminars-and-events/.
