Maximizing your experience at Atlanta Market

A guide for attendees

(Sponsored) Planning to attend Atlanta Market? As one of the premier gift and home marketplaces, and the nation’s largest collection of gift merchandise, Atlanta Market offers opportunities for sourcing unique products, discovering new brands and connecting with industry professionals. To make the most of your trip, follow this guide to ensure you’re well-prepared before you arrive and during your time at the show.

Before the Show

1. Register in Advance

Early registration ensures you’re approved for entry ahead of time, allowing you to hit the ground running when you arrive. Visit AtlantaMarket.com to get started.

2. Take Advantage of Travel & Hotel Discounts

Atlanta Market offers exclusive deals on travel and accommodations. Choose from hotels within walking distance of the campus in downtown Atlanta or explore convenient options in Midtown and Buckhead for a different vibe.

3. Study the Market Map

Atlanta Market is large and diverse, with each building color-coded to help you navigate easily. Before you go, review the layout and plan your visit according to the categories and floors that align with your buying objectives.

4. Create a Plan

A little planning goes a long way! Use the online Market Plan tool to create an efficient, tailored schedule before you leave home. You can use the online Exhibitor Directory to browse by company, category and location to prioritize which booths you want to visit.

5. Explore Atlanta’s Dining Scene

Atlanta is known for its vibrant food scene. Before the show, take some time to explore dining options, make reservations and learn more about the city. Whether you’re in the mood for Southern comfort food or international cuisine, you’ll find plenty of options to suit your tastes.

At the Show

1. Explore the Temporaries

A true highlight of Atlanta Market is the Temporaries—a “show within a show.” Here, you’ll find emerging brands, up-and-coming makers and exciting new products you won’t see anywhere else. With thousands of temporary booths, this is the perfect spot for discovering inspiration and sourcing something fresh for your business.

2. Ask About Show Specials

One of the key advantages of attending Atlanta Market in person is the opportunity to take advantage of show-only specials. Many vendors offer exclusive deals, including discounted or free freight, merchandise bundles and special pricing. These incentives make attending the market not just inspiring, but also highly cost-effective compared to purchasing online. Plus, Attending Market gives you the chance to meet one-on-one with manufacturers, sales reps and the makers themselves. Hear the story behind the product and establish new, trusted relationships.

3. Use the ANDMORE Markets App

The ANDMORE Markets app helps navigate the show efficiently. Use it to access your Market Plan, quickly check in with badge pickup and take notes or photos as you browse. The app helps you stay organized and make on-the-go adjustments to your schedule seamlessly.
