Atlanta Market accelerates the rebound of its expansive temporary exhibits – the most comprehensive of the Winter 2022 market season – presenting some 3,000+ gift and home décor lines by 1,000+ exhibitors across 10 exhibition halls January 12 – 16, 2022 at AmericasMart Atlanta.
“The Atlanta Market trade show experience is quickly returning to the vibrant and expansive discovery opportunity that the gift and home industry knows,” said Scott Eckman, International Market Centers, executive vice president, chief revenue officer. “Buyers will find a mix of longtime favorite lines alongside newcomers, all bringing fresh new ideas to the marketplace.”
Trade Organization Presence Grows
Despite the pandemic, Atlanta Market’s temporary exhibits have exponentially grown, doubling each market since their brief hiatus in Summer 2020 and rebounding to near historic levels this winter. Bolstering the growth is the return of multiple trade organization pavilions on the trade show floor.
New in January is The Scottish Pavilion of 10 gift, gourmet and décor brands presented by Scottish Development International in Building 3, Floor 5. Gourmet Catalog takes its first trade show booth as a gathering place for current and prospective members in the Gourmet category in Building 2, Floor 2. The Georgia Grown Pavilion of Georgia agribusinesses returns to market with 17 gourmet food brands in Building 2, Floor 2. Museum Store Association’s The Gallery Collection is again staged in Building 3, Floor 2 with 16 member brands.
