First impressions : 1ST VEGAS FAIR & MARKET

摘要

What a contrast, the relentless, blistering 100-plus-degree heat cast by the desert sun and the air-conditioned refuge of the Las Vegas Convention Center. What a contrast, the Sodom and Gomorrah-like atmosphere of Las Vegas and the sleepy hamlet of High Point, NC, or Anaheim, the Land of Disney. These contrasts are worthy to note as they relate to how well the much-anticipated debut of the Las Vegas Market and the first AWFS Fair outside of Anaheim in 20 years played out. The two separately managed, overlapping events brought the entire value chain of the furniture industry - from furniture retailers and furniture manufacturers to the companies that distribute supplies and equipment used to make furniture - together at the same point in time for the first time ever.
