to Trade Show Executive’s list of fastest-growing
trade shows in the United States, with Atlanta Market, Formal Markets, Las
Vegas Market and Shoppe Object among the magazine’s "Fastest 50" Class
of 2023 and "Next 50" honorees.
“ANDMORE is honored that our markets have been recognized for growth in
both number of exhibitors and overall square footage – both of which are
key tradeshow metrics,” said Dorothy Belshaw, ANDMORE President.
“In the gift, home and apparel industries these award-winning markets
serve, temporary exhibits are recognized as a hub for discovery of both
emerging innovators and industry-leading brands. In Atlanta and Las Vegas, in
particular, the tradeshow is an important complement to thousands of permanent
showrooms that also comprise our markets.”

fastest-growing trade shows held in the U.S., and the "Next 50" recognize
events that were not fast enough to crack the Top 50 in 2023 but are strong
contenders for 2024. Both awards, which are based on metrics including net
square feet of exhibit space and number of exhibitors, offer show organizers
an opportunity to highlight achievements.
