“The Atlanta Market trade show experience is quickly returning to the vibrant and expansive discovery opportunity that the gift and home industry knows,” Scott Eckman, executive vice president, chief revenue officer for International Market Centers (IMC), said. “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.

The Scottish Pavilion

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

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.

Growth-Inspired Category Relocations

The Winter 2022 Atlanta Market growth also inspires category relocations to accommodate expanded offerings. HIGH DESIGN and HIGH DESIGN LUXE relocate 100+ brands to their historic location in Building 2, Floor 1. The relocation of Gourmet, Gourmet LUXE, Housewares, Tabletop & Entertaining and Tabletop LUXE returns 175+ brands to their historic location in Building 2, Floor 2.
