| Sponsor's Message: NYICS 2008: Join The Action at New York's Fall Market |  | The New York International Carpet Show will be "action central" when it opens for its fourth consecutive year, September 14-16, 2008, during Fall Market Week. NYICS has proven to be a mecca for busy buyers looking to do business with top importers under one convenient roof in the middle of Manhattan. The location is just a few blocks from the traditional Oriental Rug District and the September dates are ideal for retailers and home furnishings buyers to find high-end, high-profit goods for the busy Fall season. Many in the industry believe that this is where the strength is in today's market. Show founder and owner, Dennis Dodds, points out that interior designers and architects are also invited to see a stunning display of design driven carpets for their hospitality, commercial and residential projects.
This year's NYICS opens on Sunday morning, September 14, at 10am and is a unique opportunity for busy buyers to get a head start on Market Week. Show hours for all three days are 10am -- 6pm. Almost all of the top importers from last year's show will return, plus several more new faces with exciting fresh introductions, stunning collections, deep programs, one-of-a-kinds, and custom weaving capability. There will be a reception on Monday, September 15, from 4-6pm, during buying hours. Visit http://www.nyics.com for a complete list of exhibitors, schedules, hotels and other information. |
