In April and October, the tabletop industry hosts a Market Week for major buyers and manufacturers in New York. 7 W expanded this market for the first time in April 2008 by adding an entire floor of temporary exhibitors called Market Suites.
The Market Suites Temporaries initiative was welcomed with such success that for October 2008 a new specialty section, The Gourmet Marketplace, will be added to the Market Suites temporaries. This new dedicated pavilion will feature gourmet products and non-perishable food items offering attendees and exhibitors expanded cross- merchandising and sales opportunities.
