Show Time with Larry Karel

It was strictly an order writing show when KEM started the 59th Edison Furniture & Accessory Market at the New Jersey Convention Center.

It was another excellent market despite the economy. Many vendors say this helped them jump start the next quarter  The August show had over 700 exhibit spaces with nearly 600 re-assigning on the spot for the 60th Winter Edison Furniture & Accessory Market being held February 5-6-7, 2012.






To those who haven't heard, KEM is now preparing for a new market to be held the fall of 2012, This will be the *NEW* Mid-Atlantic Furniture & Accessory Market. . . At the latest Edison Market many exhibitors came to the show office requesting that Karel Exposition holds a show in the Maryland, Virginia, Washington D.C and Delaware area since that part of the region is very selective and buyers will not travel more then 100 to 200 miles. They are not going to the major markets as it has become too costly. It will be held in FREDERICKSBURG, VA, at the Fredericksburg Expo & Conference Center, September 6 & 7, 2012. For more information and booth availability you can reach either Sherry or Richard at our office who will be happy to accommodate you. 


KEM is now rolling along towards as the November Long Beach Furniture & Accessory Market, being held November 2 & 3, 2011, This market is now SOLD OUT other then two scattered spaces within the hall. We are now seeking additional space within the convention center for the May 2012 show since we have already sold the last remaining spaces in the lobby area for the November 2011 show.


Shortly after is our Irving, TX, Market being held November 9 & 10, 2011. We are happy to say that this show is also approaching a SELL OUT due to the success of the previous market. Buyers throughout the region including Oklahoma converged on the first event with Order Writing for exhibitors who have not seen these buyers at any other market outside of the Texas region.
