New this year: The show continues to grow with the addition of 154 new exhibitors from nearly 20 countries, including Italy's Fiera Milano, which will present, for the first time ever at a U.S. venue, Design Italiano, a showcase of Italian furniture from the 1950s through the present.
The bottom line: For the first time in the show's history, all exhibit space, seminars, showrooms and events will be at the World Market Center. With the opening of Building C, the show adds 2.1 million sq. ft. to the campus, bringing the total to more than 5 million sq. ft. of showroom space, eliminating the need for temporary exhibit space elsewhere in Las Vegas.
