NY NOW, owned by Emerald Holding, Inc. (NYSE: EEX), the largest, premier wholesale trade show in New York serving the gift, home and accessories marketplace, is preparing for the 100th anniversary of the event with the upcoming 2024 Winter Market.

At the center of this commemoration will be key enhancements aimed at providing an even more collaborative and immersive experience for the thousands of exhibitors and tens of thousands of attendees expected to attend NY NOW, scheduled for February 4–7, 2024, at New York City's Javits Center. Buyers, designers, industry veterans, and members of the media are cordially invited to attend.

“Not only is NY NOW's 100th anniversary a true milestone for an event, but it also signifies the culmination of a journey driven by our unwavering commitment to community, quality, and innovation,” said Kim Mancuso-Telford, General Manager of NY NOW. “As we mark this milestone, we take great pride in drawing upon our history to create a highly evolved version of the market. Our focus remains centered on advancing the future of the industry while continuing to foster meaningful connections within our vibrant community, ensuring that NY NOW paves the way for the next 100 years of ingenuity and thriving collaboration.”

With three recently re-envisioned categories – Gift & Lifestyle, Home, and Jewelry & Accessories – NY NOW offers a meticulously curated space trusted by tens of thousands of retailers for trendspotting, discovering emerging brands, and networking with industry trailblazers.

As the Winter Market approaches, NY NOW commemorates its 100-year legacy through immersive experiences, live programming, lobby installations, and vibrant receptions across the show floor. These initiatives aim to deepen community connections, celebrate the industry's long-standing commitment to this event, and ignite enthusiasm for the market's promising future.
