Presenting more than 40 product categories across 12 distinct sections in a relaxed, friendly and collaborative community of like-minded buyers, business owners, designers and more, NY NOW is a market for what’s fresh and innovative across lifestyle, handmade and home.

“Events that are new to our list or that moved up from last year share one thing in common: They’re utterly unique,” said Beth Kormanik, editor in chief for BizBash. “Whether they’re a music festival or a business conference, they offer have-to-be-there experiences that attendees know they can’t miss. The challenge for event organizers is to keep topping themselves year after year.”

“NY NOW is all about sharing what’s new, fresh and innovative with our community of retailers, designers, and influencers,” said Trish Borrelli, senior attendee acquisition manager for NY NOW. “We gather twice each year to debut the newest products, promote the most talented emerging brands we’ve scoured the globe to uncover and share the latest tools to engage consumers. Retailers are looking to us to help them stay ahead of the curve and we take that responsibility very seriously, which inspires us to continuously evolve and deliver something new and exciting each Market. It’s very rewarding to be recognized as a standout to 100 events in New York by BizBash.”
