As the industry prepares for the Winter 2026 edition of Atlanta Market, anticipation is building for a dynamic showcase of innovation, connection and commerce at AmericasMart Atlanta, Tuesday, Jan. 13 – Monday, Jan. 19. With thousands of brands across gift, home décor, furnishings and outdoor living, Atlanta Market continues to set the standard for sourcing and inspiration, offering buyers an unmatched opportunity to discover new products, forge relationships and position their businesses for success in the year ahead.

“Atlanta Market is where ideas ignite and partnerships flourish,” said Jon Pertchik, ANDMORE CEO. “As we look ahead, our mission is clear: to transform every Market into a launchpad for innovation and growth. In a world that moves fast, we’re creating spaces that empower buyers and sellers to not just keep pace, but to lead with confidence and creativity.”

Strategic Updates Expand Gift and Home Resources for Winter 2026

A fresh wave of leasing activity across AmericasMart Atlanta’s gift and home categories brings innovative product and trend-forward merchandising to the Winter 2026 showcase. Atlanta Market’s 1,000-plus permanent showroom portfolio spans 51 floors, and this January introduces significant updates designed to inspire sourcing and drive growth.

More than 700 gift showrooms feature new additions such as Batela USA, Boho Betty and Osmology, while 300-plus home furnishings resources welcome Avasa Home and Cribsi. Strategic relocations and expansions from Harper Group, nora fleming and Aesthetic Movement further enhance the Market experience. Thousands of temporary exhibitors across seven curated neighborhoods — Cash & Carry, Fashion Accessories, Gift, HIGH DESIGN, Home, Kitchen + Table and Makers Hub — round out a robust sourcing environment for retailers and designers nationwide.

Atlanta Market is welcoming several new and returning industry partner organizations to AmericasMart for another season focused on industry connections and community. These partner-hosted activities create valuable face-to-face opportunities for both members and non-members to connect with influential industry organizations and buying groups, reinforcing Market week as an ideal time to meet, learn, and network, collaborate and celebrate in one centralized location.
