Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, February 11, 2013

HIGH POINT — Organizers of Showtime, the twice-yearly trade show here for textiles, leather and trimmings, have changed the dates of the December 2015 show and announced the dates of future shows through 2020.

Officials at the International Textile Market Assn. said the December 2015 show is now set for Dec. 6-9, one week earlier than originally scheduled.

"We work hard to recognize all holidays surrounding December Showtime and are sensitive to their importance. Upon consulting industry members, the ITMA board of directors voted to adjust the winter show dates," says Catherine Morsell, ITMA executive director.

She said board members felt the revised dates would fit best into the schedules of furniture manufacturers, who are the largest group of attendees at the event.

The complete list of show dates through 2020 are as follows:
2013 - June 2-5 & Dec. 8-11
2014 - June 1-4 & Dec. 7-10
2015 - May 31-June 3 & Dec. 6-9
2016 - June 5-8 & Dec. 4-7
2017 - June 4-7 & Dec. 3-6
2018 - June 3-6 & Dec. 2-5
2019 - June 2-5 & Dec. 8-11
2020 - June 7-10 & Dec. 6-9
