NY NOW, produced by Emerald, announced the renewal of its partnership with the Greeting Card Association (GCA) to co-locate their respective events in New York City beginning in 2026. The collaboration will debut with GCA’s *Noted: The Greeting Card Expo taking place within the NY NOW Winter Market, Feb. 1-3 at the Javits Center.

“This partnership brings together the top events in our respective sectors,” said Matthew Mathiasen, show director of NY NOW. “By aligning *Noted with NY NOW, we’re creating new opportunities for buyers and exhibitors to connect across complementary product categories. GCA has done remarkable work in making *Noted the go-to destination for the greeting card and stationery community.”

Founded in 2019, *Noted: The Greeting Card Expo is the largest independent gathering of greeting card makers in North America. The event aims to bring together creators, publishers and retailers to explore new products, spark collaboration and celebrate the diversity and creativity of the industry.

The show will also serve as an official judging location for the 37th Annual Louie Awards, GCA’s honors recognizing outstanding greeting card design.

MUD PIE RELOCATES ATLANTA SHOWROOM

Mud Pie will relocate its flagship showroom for January 2026 to AmericasMart Atlanta, Building 2, Floor 18, Suite 1821.

After nearly 10 years on Floor 6, Mud Pie will return to Floor 18, where the brand first established its presence in the market center. According to the company, the move places Mud Pie in close proximity to sales partners Ivystone and OneCoast.

Positioned strategically by the main escalators in Building 2, Mud Pie’s new showroom location aims to provide high visibility and easy access. While the space may have changed, the company said its signature aesthetic remains the same. The layout of the showroom on Floor 6, which was divided by a hallway, will now be replaced with an open, unified floor plan designed to offer a more fluid, inviting environment.

“Returning to Floor 18 is an exciting new chapter for Mud Pie,” said Katie Chapman, director of customer experience and B2B sales at Mud Pie. “This new location offers the perfect blend of accessibility and visibility, ensuring that Mud Pie is top of mind for retailers when they start their buying trips at market. The new space feels vibrant and fresh, and we look forward to providing our buyers with an even more enhanced shopping experience.”
