The Shows: Show Reports

The July California Gift Show® saw significant growth with 250 new exhibitors and 12 new showrooms opening in time for the summer market. Showrooms and exhibitors alike reported brisk sales and high traffic. The show was reorganized to combine all of the temporary traditional and contemporary gift exhibitors at the Los Angeles Convention Center, with all of Beckman’s West moving to the second floor of the L.A. Mart to be alongside the DesignStudio exhibitors. The move was made as show management continues to create a seamless shopping experience for retailers.
