What should an attendee always do or visit at your show?  

  • Make your market manageable. Preregistering (www.lasvegasmarket.com/Market-Info/Registration-Details) for Las Vegas Market expedites the arrival process plus gives you access to book hotels at exclusive rates and opts you in to receive relevant market communications. Upload your business information to the Registration Resource Center and have it reviewed before you arrive in Las Vegas to avoid onsite delays. 
  • Book the block. Reserving your hotel through Las Vegas Market comes with perks beyond guaranteed lowest rates. Each market, buyers who book through Travel Connections, Las Vegas Market’s official housing partner (www.lasvegasmarket.com/Attend/Hotels), are entered to win prizes including dining credits, show tickets, and free nights for future visits to Market. 
  • Connect with Juniper. IMC’s new B2B wholesale digital marketplace is the must-have tool. Sign-up, source, and even reorder best-sellers — before you get to campus to make the most of the integration of IMC’s physical and digital markets. 
  • Map out your market. With more than 5 million square feet of exhibit space in four buildings; more than 4,300 furniture, home décor, and gift resources; and scores of events, seminars, and celebrations, it’s important to make a plan before you get to World Market Center Las Vegas. Luckily, Las Vegas Market’s tools include the comprehensive LasVegasMarket.com, the Preview guide and active social media channels. On campus, pick up the Market Resource guide for the full list of events and resource locations, the quick reference Pocket Guide, and EXPLORE – The Gift & Home Temporaries Magazine, a guide to the 600+ temporary exhibits in the Expo at World Market Center Las Vegas. 
  • Shop the showrooms. Las Vegas Market presents 600+ branded and sales agency showrooms across 37 floors in Buildings A, B, and C. Building A features home décor, furniture, and bedding including the Las Vegas Design Center with designer-focused brands. Building B presents furniture, home décor, and bedding including the Home Furnishings temporary exhibits. Building C is a full lifestyle destination with seven floors of gift, seasonal, gourmet, and tabletop anchored by the C1 high-end collection; three floors of home décor and furniture; and three floors of furniture/ bedding resources. In winter 2023, Las Vegas Market showrooms are open Jan. 29 to Feb. 2. 
  • Explore the Expo. Las Vegas Market’s newest destination is the Gift and Home temporary exhibits in the new Expo at World Market Center Las Vegas. The expansive trade show floor features hundreds of brands in six categories: Gift, Home, Design, Handmade, Luxe, and Immediate Delivery. Las Vegas Market’s temporary exhibits are a discovery destination with an engaging presentation of trend-driven, international, and emerging brands. In winter 2023, Las Vegas Market showrooms are open Jan. 29 to Feb. 1. 
  • Source across categories. Las Vegas Market is the only U.S. buying event to offer access to the full spectrum of product from gift to furniture to home décor. This unique combination of products gives buyers the opportunity to explore new categories and revenue streams while they source in their primary categories. Don’t leave Las Vegas Market without exploring new complementary brands and cross-market opportunities. 
  • Find inspiration on social media. Las Vegas Market’s active Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube channels are a must-follow with trend and market information. Design and retail tastemakers share top market finds and sourcing tips through “Market Pro” Instagram takeovers. Also on the channels are top new product introductions showcased in the Market Snapshot program plus video testimonials from market attendees. 
  • Participate in programming. Las Vegas Market offers scores of events, seminars, tours, and more over four days of market. Explore the market with a guided tour, attend business education, learn about trends through IMC’s FIRSTLOOK trend presentation, and get inspiration from design and retail tastemakers. Attend happy hours and parties in the beautiful World Market Center Courtyard and plan to stop by exhibitor parties, all with a classic Las Vegas vibe. 
  • Don’t overschedule. While having a plan helps you make the most of Market, don’t commit all your time. Plan to spend time sometime exploring both on campus and in greater Las Vegas. Take in a show, visit a casino, or explore the beauty of the west, all near Las Vegas Market.
