Atlanta Market held its first edition in 1957. Seventy years later, it returns to AmericasMart Atlanta from January 12–17, 2027.
Retailers and interior designers will visit the market to review new product lines and meet suppliers before making purchasing decisions for the coming seasons.
For brands exhibiting at First Finds, Atlanta Market's temporary exhibit program, renting a trade show booth offers an alternative to maintaining a permanent showroom. It provides exhibitors with a space to showcase their collections and speak directly with potential wholesale customers.
As Atlanta Market reaches its 70th year, here's a closer look at the Winter 2027 edition, the buyers attending, and what brands should consider when planning their exhibits.
Since its first edition in 1957, the market has grown into a major wholesale sourcing destination at AmericasMart Atlanta, connecting gift and home brands with retailers and interior designers.
To mark the 70-year milestone, organiser ANDMORE has introduced the 'Where Your Business Is Made' campaign. It highlights retailers and designers who have built their businesses through product discoveries and lasting supplier relationships at Atlanta Market.
For exhibitors considering a trade show booth rental for Atlanta Market Winter 2027, the anniversary edition offers an opportunity to introduce new collections to wholesale buyers. With gift, home décor, and lifestyle products spread across the market's three interconnected buildings, exhibitors can reach buyers looking to source merchandise for the year ahead.
The Atlanta Market allows retailers to evaluate merchandise for the spring and summer selling seasons.
Buyers can review new product introductions, replenish popular collections, and identify suppliers for upcoming retail promotions.
At Atlanta Market, exhibitors showcase products across several categories, including:
For exhibitors, the variety of merchandise creates different display needs. A tabletop brand needs buyers to examine individual pieces, whereas a home furnishings supplier may need space to display larger products.
The right rental trade show booth layout helps buyers evaluate collections and discuss potential orders with your sales team.
Atlanta Market has two ways for brands to exhibit: permanent showrooms and temporary exhibits. First Finds is its temporary exhibit program, running from January 13–17, 2027, on designated floors in Buildings 2 and 3 at AmericasMart Atlanta.
Permanent showrooms give brands a year-round presence at the venue. First Finds, on the other hand, allows brands to exhibit during the January market without leasing a permanent showroom. This makes it an option for companies to introduce a new product line or attend Atlanta Market for the first time.
A rental trade show booth should be planned around the merchandise you bring to First Finds.
Gift exhibitors might need shelves for smaller products, while tabletop brands may prefer open displays where buyers can pick up and examine individual pieces.
Exhibitors book their temporary exhibit space through the market organizer. Once the space is assigned, a turnkey booth provider can design and build the display, arrange delivery, and handle installation before the market opens.
First Finds organizes temporary exhibits into product neighborhoods at AmericasMart Atlanta. Your trade show rental booth should reflect what the merchandise buyers expect to find in your assigned neighborhood. A brand exhibiting in HIGH DESIGN has different display needs from one selling housewares or seasonal gifts.
Building 2 houses temporary exhibits across categories such as high-end design, home accents, and gourmet goods. Tabletop exhibitors can arrange dinnerware in complete place settings, so buyers can see how individual pieces work together. Home décor brands can display coordinating products together to help retailers visualize them in their stores.
Building 3 includes Makers Hub, Fashion Accessories / Boutique, and several gift categories. Jewelry exhibitors should use well-lit display cases that allow buyers to examine finishes and small details.
Gifting brands with multiple product lines can use labeled shelving to make individual collections easier to locate.
January is an important sourcing period for retailers planning their upcoming selling seasons. Brands exhibiting seasonal merchandise can separate spring introductions from holiday or year-round collections. Clear collection labels help buyers identify which products are available for the selling periods they’re planning.
Retail buyers often need more than a product’s appearance to make purchasing decisions. Incorporate space for printed catalogs, product specifications, and collection information. For brands with extensive product ranges, custom trade show display rentals can include a digital catalog station that gives buyers access to additional styles or color options that aren't physically displayed.
Atlanta Market brings retailers and interior designers who may want to review collections in detail. Include a dedicated meeting space away from the busy show floor for scheduled buyer appointments.
Buyers should be able to review wholesale pricing and discuss order quantities without interrupting other visitors browsing the booth.
