“Digital extends the reach of our entire community and brings new brands, new buyers and new connections on to our stage. Just as you’d expect from NY NOW, the Digital Market is a diverse and eclectic collection of Brands + Makers, including companies from over 50 countries. It is that aggregation of players from across the lifestyle spectrum that fuels discovery and supports our buyers’ creativity,” Hart said. “And that discovery will become so much more powerful as digital and in-person converge. Buyers will have the opportunity to research and plan on the Digital Market in advance and then connect with new and tried and true brands in-person – all supported by one seamless technology platform.”
