Hardware Retailing The Industry's Source for Insights and Information
ANDMORE and the International Housewares Association (IHA) recently 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.
Moving from a temporary-only trade show held every March in Chicago, the Inspired Home Show will operate from AmericasMart’s campus, split evenly between showrooms and trade show space.
“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,” says Derek Miller, president and CEO of the 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. 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,” says 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 Inspired Home Show will take place in Chicago, March 9-11, 2027, ahead of its Atlanta debut at Winter Atlanta Market, January 11–16, 2028.
