Temporary Exhibits Energize Las Vegas Market

Las Vegas Market’s Gift & Home Temporary Exhibits will surprise and delight buyers with an expanded showcase of 450+ new and returning brands, Jan. 28-31 at the Expo at World Market Center Las Vegas. 

“Las Vegas Market’s temporary exhibits are a key destination for discovery this Winter,” said Dorothy Belshaw, ANDMORE executive vice president, chief growth officer. “With six categories presenting the new and next from both established and emerging brands, buyers can experience the best of the industry at the Expo in January.” 

Categorization Facilitates Sourcing

Las Vegas Market’s Gift & Home Temporary Exhibits will be larger this winter, with an expanded floorplan filling the Expo from wall-to-wall with 450+ tradeshow exhibits showcased in six, easy-to-shop categories: Design, Gift, Handmade, Home, Immediate Delivery and LUXE.

Gift, the largest category, features traditional and contemporary giftware including decorative gifts, jewelry, apparel, personal care, baby and kids resources, stationery and innovative lifestyle products, alongside a special Gourmet Collection which concentrates tabletop, housewares and gourmet foods. Home presents the category’s full spectrum: decorative accessories, accent furniture, home textiles, decorative pillows, bedding and top-of-bed, rugs, lighting and wall décor. The Immediate Delivery category, which allows buyers to instantly restock inventory, showcases a wide range of product – vintage, antiques, jewelry, accessories, gift items, found objects, repurposed and recycled home décor and apparel.

Aesthetics – whether of form or function – define the Design, Handmade and Luxe categories.   Handmade spotlights artisanal and one-of-a-kind items in all product categories, handcrafted across all media. Design is a curated collection of established and emerging designers presenting the latest aesthetics in innovation, functionality and thoughtful design. Luxe is a juried showcase of high-end luxury gift and home product. 

New Resources Extend Sourcing

Newcomers for Winter 2024 include a roster of innovative and emerging brands, as well as established lines returning after a market hiatus. A special “New Exhibitor Display” located at the entrance to the exhibit floor will showcase a sampling of products from first-time and returning exhibitors.

The relocation from B2 creates a synergistic floorplan featuring temporary exhibitors alongside permanent showrooms with compatible price points offerings.
