GLM to Create Collection of Housewares Shows in N.Y.

George Little Management will launch the New York Gourmet Housewares Show next Oct. 8 –11 in New York, collocating it with three pre-existing home-related GLM events: the New York Home Textiles Show, EX•TRACTS: A Tradeshow for Aromatherapy, Fragrance & Personal Care and SURTEX Gallery. While each show will be marketed individually to its manufacturers and attendees, the entire event will be referred to as the House to Home Market Week and take place at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.

"People are eating and entertaining more at home. They are much more aware of what constitutes good food and the tools that are needed for preparation," said Susan Corwin, GLM vice president and show manager of the Gourmet Products Show and the New York Gourmet Housewares Show. A total of 900 exhibitors and 8,000 buyers are expected to spread out over a projected 120,000 net square feet of exhibit space.
