Kite Trade Association International blows into winter Las Vegas Market

Las Vegas Market announced a new partnership with Kite Trade Association International (KTAI) that will bring its annual tradeshow to 2019 Winter Las Vegas Market, running Jan. 27–Jan. 31, 2019. The co-location will bring 20 makers and designers of wind-related products to the Pavilions at Las Vegas Market, adding a new dimension to the Market’s gift and home temporary exhibits.

“This partnership between Las Vegas Market and Kite Trade Association International introduces buyers to a diverse new offering in the gift category,” said Terence Morris, vice president of gift and tradeshow leasing at International Market Centers. “We’re delighted to expand what is already the nation’s fastest growing gift and home décor market with complementary resources that are unique and compelling.” 

“The KTAI’s decision to partner with such a well-established and growing event as the Las Vegas Market will serve us both. Our exhibitors will showcase unique kites, innovative toys, trend and gift staples, kinetic garden decor to Market attendees,” said Elaine Leitner, president of Kite Trade Association International. “There will be lots of colorful fun and exciting, kinetic displays. Our retail members will be able to choose from thousands of new and relevant products and vendors, and KTAI exhibitors will have access to a new, well-established group of buyers who come ready to write orders for their businesses. With KTAI co-locating within the Las Vegas Market, we believe this is a sure-bet!”

The Pavilions at Las Vegas Market showcases more than 500 gift and home décor exhibitors in six product categories. Pavilion 1 features GIFT, DESIGN LIFESTYLE and HANDMADE; and Pavilion 2 presents HOME, DESIGN HOME and DISCOVERIES: The Antique Vintage Marketplace. KTAI will be located in Pavilion 1 and run consistent with the regular schedule for the Pavilions, which is Sunday, Jan. 27, through Wednesday, Jan. 30.
