Eight ANDMORE buying events were recognized at Trade Show Executive’s Fastest 50 Awards event. (L-R): ANDMORE’s Jennifer Muna, CEM, senior vice president, operations; Terence Morris, senior vice president, gift; and Caron Stover, senior vice president, apparel, accepted awards for Atlanta Market, Formal Markets, Las Vegas Market and Shoppe Object.

Eight 2023 buying events owned and operated by ANDMORE℠ have been named 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.” 

Trade Show Executive’s "Fastest 50" Awards recognize the 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.

Fastest 50 Awards
Four ANDMORE trade shows produced in 2023 were recognized among the nation’s “Fastest 50” shows by net square feet of exhibit space: Formal Markets Atlanta in August, Las Vegas Market Winter and Shoppe Object Summer and Winter markets.

The Summer and Winter 2023 editions of Shoppe Object also received additional awards for fastest growing by number of exhibiting companies.

The "Next 50"
Two ANDMORE markets were recognized among the nation’s “Next 50” shows by number of exhibiting companies: Atlanta Market Winter and Las Vegas Market Winter.
