ANDMORE and the International Housewares Association (IHA) today announced a new, eight-year partnership that will bring The Inspired Home Show to AmericasMart Atlanta, co-located alongside Winter Atlanta Market, beginning in January 2028. The move brings The Inspired Home Show into a permanent, cross-category marketplace model for the first time in its history, adding year-round showrooms to its tradeshow presence, and grows AmericasMart’s dedicated housewares and tabletop footprint tenfold.
Shifting from a temporary-only tradeshow held every March in Chicago, the Inspired Home Show will operate from dedicated neighborhoods woven throughout AmericasMart’s campus, split evenly between showrooms and tradeshow space, and placed alongside the categories for buyers to cross-source.
“This is the next chapter for our Show that has always been about connection, bringing the industry together to discover products, build partnerships, and grow businesses,” said Derek Miller, President & CEO, International Housewares Association. “Atlanta gives us a platform to do that in a whole new way, together creating the biggest sourcing marketplace for the industry. We’re proud to build this next chapter with a partner who shares our commitment to the people who make this community so special.”
The Inspired Home Show will be presented alongside Winter Atlanta Market, AmericasMart’s premier gift and home show, giving buyers access to The Inspired Home Show’s exhibitors and the existing 6,000+ complementary gift and home brands in a single trip. The partnership follows the model ANDMORE established in 2023 when ICFA moved its 60+-year-old Casual Market to AmericasMart, a partnership that has grown steadily every year since.
“We’re grateful for IHA’s trust in choosing ANDMORE and AmericasMart for The Inspired Home Show’s next chapter,” said Amory Wooden, EVP and Chief Revenue Officer, ANDMORE. “This partnership dramatically expands our housewares and tabletop offerings, giving buyers even more reason to source across categories in one trip. And it signals that the permanent, cross-category marketplace model has true staying power in our industry.”
The timing is central to the partnership’s value. Winter Atlanta Market provides buyers with their first major sourcing trip of the calendar year and is where retailers set assortment and sourcing direction for the months ahead. With The Inspired Home Show’s national retailer base now part of the expanded Market, buyers can build housewares and tabletop sourcing into their plans for the entire year from day one, rather than treating it as a separate trip on their calendar.
The Inspired Home Show’s final Chicago show will take place March 9-11, 2027, ahead of its Atlanta debut at Winter Atlanta Market, January 11–16, 2028.
