Exhibitor Information

We have established a much-needed Fall Market at an ideal time of year. When higher profit margins are paramount to success in a difficult business environment, NYICS is an opportunity for qualified importers of high-end handmade Oriental carpets to meet rug retailers, home furnishings and design showroom buyers from the USA, Canada, and South America. European buyers also attend. 

Interior designers and architects sourcing fine handmade carpets for their upscale residential, hospitality and executive commerical projects will visit NYICS. The high quality and diversity of goods and the convenience of having so many top importers in one convenient location means a more efficient use of a buyer's valuable time.

The New York Show is a chapter in the new story about emerging changes in this industry. Our growth over the past six years is a reliable indication of how NYICS meets a market need. Forward-looking importers and buyers alike who want to be a part of this important change and take your companies to a higher and more profitable level, should put NYICS at the top of their list.
 
Here are a few of the features that have been implemented, with more to come:

• The New York Fall Market is held in September, at an ideal buying time of the year.
• This year's dates are September 12-14, 2010, with opening day on Sunday, the 12th.
• Our new location at 7 West 34th Street is in the heart of the mid-town Decorative and Oriental rug district and 4 short blocks to the ORICA shuttle at 5th Avenue and 30th Street. 
• NYICS at 7 West is "Carpet Central" -- your meeting place of choice during New York Market Week! 
• Free shuttle service between NYICS and the ORICA shuttle.
• Our 7 West Trade Center building location is home to other major national and international home furnishings trade shows.
• "Designer Day" panel features leading professionals from the influential architecture and interior design communities. A complimentary lunch follows the discussions that focus on using decorative and Oriental carpets in high-end hospitality, residential and commercial projects.

The show "...was a tale of pretty and prettier with a selection of some of the most unique boutique rugs around...NYICS has found its niche by highlighting exhibitors with one-of-a-kind merchandise and original collections with fresh points of view." -- Rug Insider Magazine, New York, Winter 2009, p. 72.


"Tantalizing new design introductions led the way. Most of these exhibitors sell carpets with well-executed transitional and contemporary looks that fare well at the upper end of the style-conscious market. This may have contributed to their good sales results, as many feel that this is where the market is strongest...After just three shows, NYICS has claimed a definite niche in the handmade carpet industry."  --  Rug Insider Magazine, New York, Winter 2008, p. 92.


"Now in its second year...(the) International Carpet Show in New York is gaining momentum...the show is likely to grow year-on-year, making this a red-letter event for buyers' diaries." -- HALI, "The New Carpet Mecca", London, September 29, 2006.

"NYICS 2006 Delivers for Many: -- The New York International Carpet Show (NYICS) met with success for many. Exhibitors found the Lexington Armory near New York's rug district a convenient location...new products offered retailers much to consider...California-based Caravan had one of the largest booths at the NYICS. “Good show,” said company head Mois Refoua. “It’s better than I expected." -- Rug Insider Magazine, New York, September 2006.
