New York Home Textiles Show |

(TGlobal
Connections, the Asian home textiles source,
will complete its evolution from a division of
the New York Home Textiles Show to a stand-alone
event, by shifting its timeframe in 2006, and
its date pattern and location in 2007. This
two-part strategy will reposition the show as an
independent, overseas sourcing event serving the
national home fashions market. In line with
these changes, the show will introduce a new
tagline: “America's Source for International
Home Textiles.”
Phase one begins next spring, when Global
Connections will shift its timeframe to run from
March 28-30, 2006 the three days immediately
preceding the New York Home Textiles Show at New
York City's Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.
Organizers expects that kicking off the New York
Home Textiles Market Week, this new, staggered
date pattern will meet the needs of textile
importers and manufacturers seeking to source at
the event.
Phase two begins in 2007, when the show will
change both its date pattern and location, to
run concurrently with the Gourmet Housewares
Show and the National Hardware Show, each May.
Repositioning the show as an annual, late spring
event creates an ideal opportunity for sourcing
home products. In addition, the collocation with
two strong, existing events which together
present some 3,500 exhibitors and attract more
than 40,000 attendees allows for expansion of
the market beyond its current reach to one of a
more national scope.
It is hoped that repositioning this unique
resource in its own time slot preceding the New
York Home Textiles Show in spring 2006 will
accommodate textiles manufacturers/importers
with a conveniently timed sourcing solution.
Aligning with the Gourmet Housewares Show and
the National Hardware Show in 2007 will add
appeal, visibility and national relevance
creating a broad and comprehensive market for
home-focused industries.
Global Connections, serving U.S. importers,
distributors, manufacturers and large-volume
retailers seeking to source directly from
overseas producers, showcases home textiles
companies that seek large volume business,
private label and mass retail opportunities.
