The home furnishings market in Las Vegas will move to fall from summer starting in 2009.
The change announced today for the Las Vegas Market "is designed to better serve every segment of the home furnishings industry both domestically and internationally," according to a news release.
Starting in September 2009, Las Vegas Market will be held for four days instead of the traditional five. The fall 2009 market will be held Sept. 14-17. The new date pattern for fall 2009 and the markets thereafter officially start on Monday and close on Thursday. As in the past, showrooms wishing to remain open after the official close of market can do so.
The winter 2009 Las Vegas Market will take place Feb. 9-13, as previously scheduled.
In addition to its fall 2009 Las Vegas Market dates, World Market Center also announced new Las Vegas Market dates through 2011: Feb. 1-4, 2010; Sept. 13-16, 2010; Feb. 14-17, 2011; and Sept. 12-15, 2011.
