NY Now Switches Summer Dates
The summer edition of the lifestyle and gift trade show will return to its earlier August date pattern.
White Plains, N.Y.--NY Now, the Market for Home, Lifestyle + Gift, has announced its summer 2018 show dates.
The trade show will shift back to its preferred date pattern earlier in the month of August, taking place from Aug. 12-15 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York.
And while in the past the show’s different categories, Home, Lifestyle and Handmade, all opened and closed at different times, now they will operate on the same schedule, with the show opening at 9 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 12 and closing an hour later than usual, at 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 15.
“We’re very excited about the changes we’ve made to the NY Now Summer 2018 market schedule,” said Randi Mohr, vice president and director of NY Now.
“We are constantly evaluating dates and timeframes to determine the most advantageous pattern for NY Now to make it the best experience possible for attendees and exhibitors alike, and we think that the return to the earlier dates coupled with a Sunday-Wednesday schedule for all collections do just that.”
NY Now will host more than 2,300 exhibitors at its summer show. For more information, visit NYNow.com.
