IMPORTANT INFO & UPDATES ABOUT QUILT MARKET
International Quilt Market has been connecting retailers and exhibitors since 1979. Over those years we've seen many changes in the way our industry does business. Market has changed, too.
From a show where the primary function was to introduce products and place orders, we've become a show where ideas are generated and shared, business and technical skills can be learned, networking contacts are made, and products can be showcased, demonstrated, and assessed, in person...and in real time. And oh yes…where exciting products are introduced and orders written!
To stay abreast of the latest concerns of both retailers and exhibitors, we are constantly seeking advice, input, and opinions from a wide variety of people across the industry. Both in formal ways—such as our Market Advisory Council—and informal ways during Market and beyond, by phone, by email, text and in-person meetings.
As we all know, there have been years when Market attendance has been up, years when it has been down, years when it has stayed steady. That fluctuation can be seen in any show that’s been in business for as many years as we have. But Market is constantly evaluating the input we receive to determine what will best meet the needs of all of the audiences we serve, and constantly adapting and changing.
We realize our industry is full of busy people, so everyone may not be aware of all we've done to ensure that Market continues to evolve and address our exhibitor and attendee concerns with fresh ideas for today. So here's a comprehensive list of the most recently introduced innovations at Market that you may not be aware of:
