An overwhelming majority of The International Home Furnishings Market Authority (IHFMA) Board voted in favor of changing market dates to late March and late September. As a result of the 7:1 vote, Market dates were changed beginning in the fall of 2006.
Shortly after this decision was made, a conflict with the religious holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Ramadan were found. Markets will run Monday-Sunday, beginning with the October 2006 show. The new dates for 2006 are:
