AmericasMart Atlanta January 2010: The Market Maker

Atlanta, GA—The market that for more than half a century has made the home, rug, gift and apparel business run strong and solid sets the stage for 2010 with an unchallenged track record of show-stopping successes affirming what buyers and sellers around the world know:  AmericasMart is the Market Maker.

Buyers from across the retail spectrum will return in January 2010 to the one Market created for big business:  AmericasMart and the all-new January 2010 Atlanta International Gift & Home Furnishings Market and the Atlanta International Area Rug Market featuring the National Oriental Rug Show (NORS). 

January 2010 at AmericasMart will be all about capturing endless product resources, engaging and exciting customers and igniting business as the first market of the year, which promises broad opportunity for retailers poised to tap the buying power of consumers primed for new product.

AmericasMart will be ready with a product line-up that brings the depth and breadth of the home, area rug, gift and apparel categories together at one time in one singular presentation, all in a Market experience enriched and enlivened by premier events, celebrity appearances and educational programming:

The AmericasMart University (AMU) Social Media Day featuring keynote address by Socialnomics: How Social Media Transforms the Way We Live and Do Business author Erik Qualman, with breakout sessions and classes following in the new AMU social media curriculum.

The January 2010 Market Gala at the High Museum of Art celebrating the John Portman: Art and Architecture exhibition;

In the Gourmet Demonstration Kitchen, an all-start lineup of culinary stars, including Alton Brown, Tyler Florence and Virginia Willis;
