New York Intl. Carpet Show Celebrates 8th Anniversary

An established catalyst for business at the high-end, the annual New York International Carpet Show presents 35 top vendors of innovative, design-driven handknotted carpets. Held at  7 West 34th Street, steps away from the legendary carpet district, NYICS is the trade source for ravishing new designs, stylish collections, and custom capabilities.

The eighth annual event will take place this Sept. 9 - 11, the prime time for Market Week and the Fall selling season. Attendees will be dazzled by new, smart looking, fresh products with high margin potential. A diverse range of exciting contemporary, transitional and exemplary antique carpets add to the excitement and chemistry of extraordinary products and people all in one place. Market goers should plan to attend the special reception at 7 West New York on the show floor Monday, Sept. 10, from 3:00-5:00 pm.

"Fashion forward approaches to carpet design are essential for motivating today's customers," says Dennis Dodds, founder and owner of the show. "NYICS exhibitors display imaginative patterns, engaging colorways, intriguing textures, masterful craftsmanship, and excellent value that convert lookers into buyers in the marketplace.
