CHANGE. It’s what fosters growth, improvement, progress and success.
If you attended New York’s summer 2013 market, you experienced
this dynamic as NY NOW™, The Market for Home + Lifestyle made its
debut. If you weren’t there, but are planning to attend this winter, you’ll
soon see for yourself the changes which have transformed this event.
The most obvious change you’ll notice is a more dynamic and buyer-
friendly floor plan (see page 7), with four comprehensive collections:
HOME, LIFESTYLE, HANDMADE and NEW! Within these, you’ll shop
for complementary resources among 400+ product categories
from 2,800+ suppliers. Each collection is highlighted in this planner,
beginning on page 8.
Other highlights you’ll notice this winter:
• NY NOW™ has added an extra weekday for the winter market,
offering six days of sourcing and shopping, from Saturday, February
1 to Thursday, February 6. Staggered opening dates allow you a head
start visiting the HANDMADE and NEW! collections.
• As always, there is so much to do and see in New York City! We offer
our suggestions on pages 22-23. Super Bowl XLVIII is taking place in
nearby East Rutherford, NJ, too, so it’s an exciting time to visit!
• Use of the NYNOW365.com site has grown exponentially, becoming
the “go-to” online planning resource for buyers around the world. See
page 4 for more details on how you can use it to organize product
images and information.
This pre-show planner includes all the information you need to get
ready for the winter 2014 NY NOW™, including an overview of seminars
and special events, tech tools, product highlights and exhibitor profiles.
As always, you can reference NYNOW.com for more details, and
interact with us on Facebook and Twitter.
See you in February!
