Mark your calendars now for the 5th annual New York International Carpet Show: September 2009
Many thanks to all who made the 4th annual NYICS a success.
In the realm of high-end decorative and Oriental carpets, we have become known as "The New York Show." We are the metro area's only stand-alone trade show dedicated to top importers of beautiful, designer quality, handmade rugs. Conveniently scheduled during Market Week, NYICS offers buyers an exceptional opportunity to do profitable business with our A-level exhibitors -- all in one convenient location. Centered in Manhattan, this annual event creates a destination that is at the epicenter of style and world class tastemakers.
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. If your business depends on buying the best quality and most up-to-date designer carpets for your customers, don't miss it...
See you in September 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.
