DOMOTEX will not take place in January 2022. This was announced by Deutsche Messe AG as the organizer of the leading trade show for carpets and floor coverings.

"We have been fighting for DOMOTEX together with the exhibiting companies until the very end, and have been in daily communication with the industry for months," says Sonia Wedell-Castellano, Global Director DOMOTEX, Deutsche Messe AG. "DOMOTEX is particularly affected by the impact of the Corona pandemic, as the vast majority of DOMOTEX exhibitors and attendees come from abroad. However, given the current pandemic situation, international business travel is not expected to recover in the short term," adds Wedell-Castellano.

Atlanta Market kicks off the gift wholesale and retail year with 40 showroom updates among its 700+ gift showrooms presented on 19 floors at the Winter 2022 edition, January 11-18, 2022 at AmericasMart Atlanta. Together, the eight showroom debuts, 28 expansions and four relocations make up more than 180,000 square feet of refreshed spaces for International Market Centers’ (IMC) first market of 2022.

“Atlanta Market continues to lead buying and selling for the gift industry,” said Scott Eckman, IMC executive vice president, chief revenue officer. “As such, this January, new and expanding brands and sales agencies will show even more product to the valuable buying power that attends Atlanta Market.”
