Denver Mart Sets Dates For Winter Trade Show

The Denver Mart sets a new date pattern for 2014. This year the Denver Gift Show will take place Friday -Monday, February 21-24 in both the Main Mart and Expo buildings. A pre-show in The Mart building will be held on Wednesday and Thursday, February 19-20, 2014.

2014 Attendees can look forward to another exciting event; The Mart has planned to host a Fall 2014 fashion show, produce networking events, promote “swag” bag giveaways, provide social media interactions, offer educational seminars, and new this season will be the raffling off of a variety of prizes “We are looking to improve upon the last show, in terms of overall experience and breadth of offerings” Stephanie Swimmer, Executive Director of Events and Trade shows.

The August 2013 Gift and Apparel show hosted thousands of buyers from all across the United States. Over 200 new stores attended, hailing from far off places such as Puerto Rico, Massachusetts and Alaska. We also had an international buyer presence from far off locations such as Italy, Ghana, Germany and Tokyo. With over 400 permanent and temporary exhibitors from all across the world, buyers of gift to trendy clothing boutiques came to The Denver Mart expecting the unexpected, and they got just that. Buyers found what they needed from the many offerings of gift, jewelry, resort, home, apparel, accessory and high end furniture.

Some of the 2013 show’s highlights included an array of educational seminars, a Spring 2014 fashion show where over 600 people attended as well as live Facebook and Twitter feeds to keep attendees up to date. FAR (Floral Association of the Rockies) held their annual trade show as a capsule event within the Gift show, which was a tremendous success and had exhibitions along with seminars and competitions. A buyer’s lounge was available, where buyers were encouraged to relax and recharge. On Sunday, the Mart hosted their first Food Truck Row outdoor party with seven food trucks and live music. The show, all around, had an energy and pulse not seen in recent summer shows and the evenings were just as lively.

In addition to the Gift Show, The Denver Mart also hosts 6 Apparel & Accessory Markets, featuring 100 showrooms and temporary exhibitors, offering lines in women’s, children’s and men’s apparel & accessories. Super Monday Market Days; one-day markets scheduled the first Monday of each month featuring the gift, home and jewelry showrooms are also events for buyers to attend.

Founded in 1965 as a wholesale trade center, the Denver Mart serves as an international and regional marketplace, housing permanent showrooms and holding shows for various industries, including gifts, resort, souvenirs, western apparel and equipment, jewelry, apparel and home furnishings. Today, the Mart is home to more than 350 showrooms and hosts more than 200 public and wholesale trade events each year.
