Global Home Textiles Brings the World Home
March 1, 2007
WHITE PLAINS, New York - George Little Management, (GLM) LLC will soon be "bringing the world to U.S. buyers" through their Global Home Textiles show, which will take place in May.
Penny Sikalis, vice president and group show manager, said George Little Management's trade shows "are evolving to meet the industry's changing landscapes." According to Marianne Delaney, public relations for GLM, last year's "Global Connections" was a division of the New York Home Textiles show, but this year Global Home Textiles will be a "stand alone show."
Global Home Textiles will be located in the same place as the Gourmet Housewares Show and Reed Exhibition's National Hardware Show. At the Housewares Show, GLM will present cookware, kitchenware, tabletop, culinary tools, cutlery, specialty appliances, kitchen gadgets, wine accessories, specialty foods and decorative accessories. The Reed's National Hardware Show will feature home improvement products like paint, plumbing, electrical, home décor and tools.
Wholesalers, importers, distributors, buying offices and product development teams from more than 30 countries are expected to attend. In addition to the thirty U.S. companies expected to exhibit at Global Home Textiles, GLM foresees participation from Sri Lanka, Turkey, Taiwan, Korea, Mexico, Nepal and several other nations.
For exhibitors and attendees, GLM will also host a full-day, pre-show conference on May 7, informing them about how to successfully do business in the U.S. and how to maximize participation in trade shows. There is also a golf outing and an opening night party planned at the convention center as well as a variety of special services being offered to show participants including special buyer lounges, networking events, an onsite spa and prize drawings.
