ATLANTA – May 4, 2023 – Casual furnishings and outdoor furniture brands are ready to do business in Atlanta with 100+ temporary exhibitors confirmed for the inaugural Casual Market Atlanta July 10 – 13, 2023, at AmericasMart Atlanta. Enthusiasm for the reinvigorated market and the opportunity to showcase more product to more buyers already has inspired a 50% expansion of exhibit space planned this summer’s debut buying event.
“The response to the Casual Market’s relocation from Chicago to Atlanta has been overwhelmingly positive,” said Dorothy Belshaw, International Market Centers (IMC) executive vice president, chief growth officer. “Established brands and innovative newcomers are tapping AmericasMart to showcase their full-spectrums of outdoor living product to top buyers in the casual furnishings industry and beyond.”
Casual Market Atlanta presents a compelling offering of 100+ casual furnishings and outdoor furniture temporary exhibitors in a purpose-built tradeshow space on Floors 6 and 7 of Building 1 at AmericasMart Atlanta.
