With over 1,300 booth spaces occupied by merchandise from around the world, this will be the largest furniture and accessory trade show of its kind in the United States. The Orlando Furniture and Accessory Market will take place August 24-25-26 at the Orange County Convention Center. Larry Karel, market director, said the market is attracting buyers from all over Florida, Latin America and the Caribbean. "The Orlando Furniture and Decorative Accessory Market offers exhibitors an excellent opportunity to open new accounts, establish after-market leads, talk directly with buyers and see the latest trends in the marketplace," said Karel, whose family-run business has organized furniture trade shows for the last 50 years. "Orlando is a regional and international magnet, drawing exhibitors and buyers from around the world." So manufacturers, reps and distributors may work directly with retailers, the Orlando Furniture and Accessory Market is closed to the general public and no one under 13 years of age is permitted to enter the show.
