Contract buyers invited to Showtime

By Susan M. Andrews -- Furniture Today, December 23, 2001

HIGH POINT — Exhibitors schedules are filled with appointments for the winter 2002 edition of the Showtime fabric show here, which officially opens Monday, Jan. 7.

The International Textile Market Assn., which sponsors the semiannual event, has expanded its invitation roster for the show to include buyers of contract goods.

"January is an ideal time for companies who exhibit at NeoCon (the contract show) to review product," said Catherine Morsell, director of ITMA. "Many of our member companies offer product lines suited for office, contract and hospitality settings."

ITMA also is rolling out a new Web site this month at www.ITMA-Showtime.com.

"Each member will have their own password, so that they can access our database when needed," said Morsell. "We want a Web page that is user-friendly and packed full of helpful information for members and buyers. We want them to come back for more."

ITMA also has moved its offices, relocating from the 3rd floor to the 10th floor of the Market Square Textile Tower here. The post office box mailing address, telephone and fax number remain the same.

Events scheduled during Showtime include:

• Monday, Jan. 7
  Pantone Inc. presents "Freestyle, Not Lifestyle" in the Suites at Market Square. Breakfast is served at 8 a.m. and the presentation begins at 8:30 a.m. in Aisle 200. Pre-registration is required. Call (888)-PANTONE, ext. 2148.

• Opening Night Reception begins at 6:15 p.m. at the String & Splinter Club on the second floor of Market Square. Sponsors include the ITMA Educational Foundation, Cotton Inc., Pliana, Pantone and Solutia.
