Over 20 different buying groups and associations will attend Atlanta Market and Las Vegas Market in January.

ANDMORE hosts some 20-plus buying groups and trade associations for shopping, networking and education this Winter at its Atlanta Market (Jan. 14-20, 2025, at AmericasMart Atlanta) and Las Vegas Market (Jan. 26-30, 2025, at World Market Center Las Vegas) with industry partners providing on-site activities for member-based organizations.

“ANDMORE’s buying events provide an exceptional opportunity for key industry groups and buying organizations to connect and interact with members and non-members alike,” says Dorothy Belshaw, ANDMORE president. “Market week will be an essential center for product discovery, networking and shared support, and we look forward to connecting with our valued industry partners.”

Rooted in Retail, a podcast and marketing solutions platform dedicated to retail success, makes its Atlanta Market and Las Vegas Market debuts this winter.

“There’s nothing like the power of being in person at market,” says Crystal Vilkaitis, founder of Rooted in Retail. “It’s an amazing opportunity for retailers to connect, discover new product and recharge with fresh inspiration for the year ahead. I’m thrilled to be a part of the action, hosting live Rooted in Retail podcast recordings at Atlanta Market and a meet-and-greet in Las Vegas.”

In total, Atlanta Market will host 15 buying groups and trade association partners at the January buying event. In addition to Rooted in Retail, returning partners in January include American Specialty Toy Retailing Association, Brixy, GC Buying Group, Hallmark Gold Crown, HTI Buying Group, MAI Retailers, Museum Store Association, North American Farmers Direct Marketing Association, Purchasing Power Plus and Real Deals.

Las Vegas Market will welcome 12 member-based industry organizations this Winter. Some first-time Las Vegas Market partners include Boutique Hub, Mattress Retailer Toolkit and Rooted in Retail. Nine groups will return this January, including American Society of Interior Designers, American Specialty Toy Retailing Association, Furniture Marketing Group, Museum Store Association, Pacific Furniture Dealers, Purchasing Power Plus, Spa Industry Association and The Rental Industry Buying Group.
