Mark your calendars now for the 5th annual New York International Carpet Show: September 20-22, 2009
NYICS is a distinctive marketplace for the best contemporary and traditional decorative carpets in the industry. But it's more than a trade show. It is a showcase for the most current and innovative products by visionary artisan weavers...new introductions, creative collections, strong programs and must-have one-of-a-kinds.
Trade shows take on a renewed importance in a challenging economy and can be a huge time and money saver for exhibitors and buyers alike. Our Sunday morning opening allows you to be away from your own business and book off-peak weekend hotel rates for Saturday and Sunday night stays. This gives you two full days of buying on Sunday and Monday.
If your business depends on buying high-profit, design-driven carpets for your customers, don't miss it...
NYICS means business...we'll see you September 20-22, 2009!

The past two decades have seen a marked increase in consumer awareness and appreciation of the value and beauty of authentic, handmade carpets. This has spurred growth in an ancient industry that is increasingly guided by demands of the modern market. Talented artists create portfolios of carpet designs and manufacturers ensure that they are carefully made by skilled and dedicated weavers, using the best materials for long-term durability and value. From this seemingly limitless variety, our exhibitors carefully select only the best examples to present to their valued customers.
The New York International Carpet Show is an exclusive trade venue for established and qualified importers who have permanent businesses in North America and Europe to serve their buyers.
