GLM’s mission is to bring efficiencies and opportunities to the flow of merchandise – for product development/manufacturers, vendor/brand managers, retailers and designers, and consumers – through tradeshows, consumer events and digital platforms.
Since 1924, we have made markets for a variety of attractive consumer sectors. The company produces nearly 30 events annually, across home furnishings, home textiles, stationery and paper products, giftware, tabletop, gourmet housewares, contemporary furniture and interiors, personal care, art & design, antiques & jewelry, fashion, board sports & resort lifestyle and e-commerce.
We create targeted, comprehensive marketplaces, distinguished by key principals, design-led product and forward-thinking content, within the United States and abroad. Collectively, these events showcase some 13,000 exhibitors in 2.2 million net square feet of exhibit space, and attract approximately 180,000 attendees. A complimentary suite of digital products supports year-round, business-to-business connectivity.
Our markets are presented in five sectors, each representing targeted product/service categories and customer reach: Design & Home Lifestyle, Sports & Active Lifestyle, E-commerce, Product Development & Sourcing and Luxury Lifestyle. Our events include NY NOW, the International Contemporary Furniture Fair, Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition, National Stationery Show, Surf Expo, SURTEX and The Original Miami Beach Antique Show.
