“Our temporary exhibits are being filled at a pace I have never seen before, with record renewals from current exhibitors, key returns by former exhibitors and an impressive number of newcomers to Las Vegas Market,” said Terence Morris, senior vice president of gift and tradeshow leasing for International Market Centers.

“These tangible and quantifiable gains not only signal the industry’s confidence in Las Vegas Market’s ability to deliver return on investment but also cement Las Vegas Market as the leading gift and home décor market in the west,” Morris said.

Exhibitors are citing both success at past Markets and the opportunity to follow-up with current buyers and branch out to West Coast buyers.

Pavilion 1 will feature fashion accessories, jewelry, tabletop, housewares, gourmet foods, personal care and stationery products, among other lines. It will also present specialized resources with two popular showcases: Artisanal LA and Aid to Artisans.
