Atlanta Market leasing updates strengthen buyer selection for summer 2026
ANDMORE will deliver a robust slate of sourcing opportunities, exhibitor expansion and customer-driven experiences when Atlanta Market returns June 9–14 at AmericasMart Atlanta, co-hosted with Atlanta Apparel. The Summer Market brings together permanent showrooms, newly branded First Finds temporary exhibitors, industry education and on-site events — giving retailers and designers clear reasons to attend and buy as they plan for the second half of the year.
Spanning three buildings and 51 floors, Atlanta Market continues to serve as a central source destination for gift, home décor, furnishings, apparel and outdoor living. The June 2026 market emphasizes discovery and efficiency, pairing new brand introductions with returning resources and a full calendar of learning and networking designed to help buyers make confident purchasing decisions in a competitive retail environment. Collectively, all the above efforts reinforces Atlanta Market’s role as more than a sourcing destination, it is a marketplace where retailers can engage with brands, ask questions, evaluate products firsthand and make confident buying decisions in real time.
“Atlanta Market is built around one simple goal: making it worth the trip,” said Amory Wooden, CRO of ANDMORE. “From expanded showrooms to discovery-driven First Finds and meaningful education, we’re focused on creating an environment where our customers can uncover what’s next, build relationships and leave Market better positioned to grow their businesses.”

Atlanta Market continues to strengthen its year-round sourcing ecosystem with a wave of new, expanding, relocating and renewing permanent showrooms across its Gift and home categories for Summer 2026, reflecting sustained confidence from both established brands and new market entrants.

First Finds: A curated destination for discovery

This streamlined lineup simplifies discovery for buyers seeking fresh inventory and unique resources.
Discovery & Connection: Campus-wide events and education
Atlanta Market will host a full schedule of seminars, networking events and showroom celebrations to provide buyers with insights into design trends, retail strategy and product innovation. These educational and social opportunities are designed to directly complement sourcing and foster industry connections across the campus.
The inaugural “Snap & Win” contest invites registered summer market buyers and guests to post a photo from one of four campus photo walls to Instagram as a feed post, reel or story (saved to highlights) between May 18 and June 19, tagging both @americasmartatl and @apparelmarkets. One winner, who must be present at the June 19 noon drawing, will receive two round-trip Delta airfare vouchers valued up to $2,500 each for travel within the contiguous United States. Rules of participation and more details can be found here.
This season, the market experience comes to life through a robust mix of all-day hubs and signature events. Attendees can recharge in dedicated lounges — including the B3 Atrium Lounge with complimentary coffee each morning, B2 Floor 8 Buyer Lounge and the Designer Workspace (B1, Floor 15) and the Curated Category Lounge spotlighting Game Day and Accessories. The week is anchored by marquee events, beginning with Varsity Night: The Market Kickoff. Additionally, the schedule also includes hands-on culinary programming in the Gourmet Demonstration Kitchen with Southern Classics expert Rebecca Lang.
The excitement continues immediately after Market Chat: Corey Damen Jenkins’s Design Journey with an exclusive book signing featuring the AD100 designer. Jenkins will take the stage to discuss his remarkable career trajectory, brand evolution and his new book, “Design Reimagined.” From building a powerhouse firm to launching a Masterclass series, he will share crucial lessons on creativity, business longevity and what it takes for designers to successfully find their own voice.
Daily discovery is further fueled by a series of pop-up giveaways and brand activations from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. Highlights include the Le Lis Snack Bag Studio, DIFF Eyewear activations, and a Beauty Break with Hayden LA, alongside specialized sessions like The Earring Edit with Chansuttpearls and Stated Apparel styling. Additionally, exhibitors will activate showrooms with new product introductions and coordinated hospitality events, such as Shop the Top on June 9. This cherry-themed celebration brings festive food and drinks to participating Floor 18 showrooms — including Darrah & Co., Demdaco, OneCoast, and Transpac Brands — reinforcing market week as both a productive and relationship-driven environment.
