Las Vegas Market Winter 2026 Concludes with Strong Buyer Activity

LAS VEGAS, NV – The Winter 2026 edition of Las Vegas Market, held January 25–29, 2026, at the World Market Center Las Vegas, concluded with steady buyer engagement and active order writing across key categories. The event featured refreshed branding and an updated market experience that contributed to consistent traffic and activity throughout the week.

Increased New Buyer Engagement

Las Vegas Market reported an increase in first-time attendees and buyers new to the event. Exhibitors cited growth in new account activity compared with previous markets. Buyer attendance expanded across home, gift, and lifestyle categories, and exhibitors noted strong sales and productive business connections.

“This was the best show we’ve ever had—especially for our first market. We opened 192 new accounts, and the show performed 30% better for us than High Point Market, which says a lot given how busy we are there. We also welcomed more than 30 customers from Mexico and South America, opening the door to significant new business,” said Raj Bedi, President at Matrix Furniture Group.

Community Building and Industry Connections

The event’s rebranding included a new onsite bar and social hub, “The Social,” which hosted networking and collaboration opportunities for exhibitors and buyers. These gatherings supported relationship building and community engagement within the industry.

“For first-time exhibitors, the market exceeded expectations.” Taylor Dickson and Brynn Albrech, co-owners of Buttermood Soap Studio, shared, “Our goal in attending Las Vegas Market was to expand our clientele while sharing products that genuinely help people with their skin. Clean ingredients are at the core of what we do—and this market has allowed us to connect with businesses that truly value that approach. As our first B2B show, the experience has exceeded our expectations, from meaningful conversations to connecting with like-minded entrepreneurs who have been incredibly supportive. We’ve been extremely pleased with how the week has gone.”

Exhibitor Feedback

Exhibitors noted strong buyer engagement and positive response to the reconfigured floor plan. Anna Ursini, owner and artist at Sea and Soul Charts, said: “I had a fantastic Las Vegas Market. You could feel the buzz right from setup—the new entrance and social hub created an energy that carried through the entire week. I connected with a tremendous number of new customers—about 90% new and 10% reorders—and the way the market was designed really amplified that momentum.”

“After renting at Atlanta Market for more than 30 years, this is my first time exhibiting in our own showroom at Las Vegas Market, and it’s been an incredibly positive building block for our business,” said Jonathan Pearson, principal at Kitchen2table. “The experience has been all upside—from strong engagement to valuable buying group visits—and it motivated me to bring even more brands with me for the next market. I’ve already begun collaborating with co-vendors along our corridor to develop a post-market plan for creating an exciting, high-energy destination corridor to attract even more buyers in next time.”

Exhibitor Perspectives

Participants shared post-show reflections on buyer activity and outcomes:

“For Theodore Alexander, the January Las Vegas Market was an excellent way to start in 2026. We were pleased to see that traffic was strong, even surpassing last year’s exceptional turnout. We met with many existing accounts, as well as a significant number of new potential customers, and we received overwhelmingly positive feedback on both the showroom and the continued direction of the Theodore Alexander brand. It was encouraging to see customers actively buying at Market, and we view that as an indication that there is a strong year ahead of us. The Las Vegas Design Center continues to be an integral part of our strategy, offering a unique opportunity to showcase our brand to new and existing West Coast design customers, both during Market and year-round,” said Ed Teplitz, President, Theodore Alexander.

“This was our first market here in our own brand showroom, and it’s been fantastic. Buyers have been enthusiastic and highly engaged, coming from all over the U.S. to source new products. We’ve met a lot of new buyers and Las Vegas Market did a great job helping cross-promote us, so attendees knew we were new. Being able to connect with so many new customers has given us a strong platform to build relationships, foster reorders and grow our business moving forward,” said Kristin Sprague, National Sales & Marketing Director, Patchology.

“The Las Vegas Market and LVDC remain the premier West Coast destinations for designers, retailers, manufacturers, and industry partners to connect. Vanguard proudly showcases its commitment to exceptional craftsmanship, customization, and uncommon design within this vibrant marketplace. As an essential hub in the West, Las Vegas Market offers manufacturers an unparalleled opportunity to reach a unique and growing audience. World Market Center excels at addressing the design community’s evolving needs within this innovative environment, and Vanguard Furniture is honored to be a valued partner in its ongoing evolution,” said AJ Cosgrove, National Sales Manager, Vanguard Furniture.

“This is our first time returning to market in seven years, and our goal was simply to reconnect and reach West Coast customers—and it’s proven to be a great decision. We’ve seen a steady flow of buyers and written solid orders throughout the market. As a husband-and-wife team, we focus on supporting smaller, independent retailers, and we don’t sell direct-to-consumers and third-party platforms, which gives our customers a level of exclusivity they really value. Overall, the response has been very encouraging, and we’re glad to be back at Las Vegas Market,” said Julie and Christopher Tassy, co-owners, Ella B. Candles.

“We were a little nervous that the weather would dramatically affect traffic, but we were pleasantly surprised. Overall, we had a great market!” said Timothy Donk, Vice President of Sales Operations and Marketing Coordination, Legends Furniture Inc.

“Las Vegas continues to be amazing market for us, we introduced 130 new pieces and all pieces are well received,” said Devon Smith, CEO, Mercana Furniture & Decor.

“Thank you to Las Vegas Market for all you did for C5 Salon West—we had a great market,” said Eddie Smith, Founder, E Lawrence Ltd.

“The show exceeded our expectations and finished much stronger than anticipated,” said Heather Vail, JLA Home.

“We’re seeing excellent customer traffic and writing strong business,” said Mark Wiltshire, President, Streamline Art.

“We’ve been busy and seen some significant buyers,” said Justin Kachan, CEO, Sagebrook Home.
