'04 casual show dates changed
By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, October 13, 2002
High Point — The Summer and Casual Furniture Manufacturers Assn. has changed the dates for the 2004 International Casual Furniture and Accessories Market in Chicago.
The show will be Sept. 18–22, 2004, a Saturday-to-Wednesday schedule. The SCFMA board elected to change the dates to avoid a conflict with the Jewish holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
The Apollo Awards banquet will be on Monday, Sept. 20, 2004.
The board also established dates for the unofficial Chicago premarket in 2003. Although premarket is not sponsored by SCFMA, the association encourages members who would like to conduct a premarket to do so July 17–20, 2003, at the Merchandise Mart.
"Premarket is still an unofficial event, but since so many of our members with permanent showrooms have elected to participate, we felt we needed to give order to the event by establishing dates," said Joe Logan, executive director of the SCFMA.
He added that the established, concentrated time period will make premarket easier and less expensive for both manufacturers and retailers. It also will allow retailers to spend more time in the temporary spaces during the Casual Show in September.
Next year's Casual Show will be Sept. 10–14 in Chicago.
