ANDMORE与国际家居用品协会（IHA）达成八年合作，The Inspired Home Show将于2028年移师亚特兰大

ATLANTA — Two home furnishing and decor powerhouses have joined forces: ANDMORE® and the International Housewares Association (IHA).

The result will be “the widest assortment of home products, brands and companies ever displayed in the U.S.,” according to Derek Miller, IHA’s President & CEO.

The eight-year partnership will co-locate The Inspired Home Show alongside the Winter Atlanta Market at AmericasMart Atlanta, starting in January 2028, while adding year-round showrooms to its trade show presence and growing AmericasMart’s dedicated housewares and tabletop footprint tenfold.

Miller explained that this is a huge move for the IHA, which is still in the process of sorting out all the details.

“Beginning in 2028, the show will occupy seven floors at AmericasMart,” he said. “Three of the floors will be reserved for permanent showrooms, and four of the floors will be dedicated to temporary trade show space, giving IHA members participation options and flexibility.”

The physical layout will place showrooms and trade show space alongside the various categories, making it easy for buyers to cross-source.

For more than 80 years, The Inspired Home Show has been a leader in its category, held every March in Chicago and drawing more than 10,000 retailers and industry professionals and more than 1,000 exhibitors annually.

Winter Atlanta Market, AmericasMart’s premier gift and home show, features more than 6,000 complementary gift and home brands.

The timing of the combined event is also important, Miller said. Winter Atlanta Market is the first major sourcing trip of the calendar year for retailers. With the addition of The Inspired Home Show, they can also source housewares and tabletop items at the same time.

The partnership mirrors the model ANDMORE established in 2023, when the International Casual Furnishings Association (ICFA) moved its more-than-60-year-old Casual Market to AmericasMart. That partnership has grown steadily since, which Amory Wooden, Executive Vice President and Chief Revenue Officer, ANDMORE called “a sign that the permanent, cross-category marketplace model has true staying power in our industry.”

Meanwhile, the 2027 Inspired Home Show will take place as scheduled, on March 9-11 at McCormick Place in Chicago.
