Las Vegas Market Announces Impressive Roster of Seminars for Winter 2015

Las Vegas Market rings in the new year with a formidable series of original programming that will appeal to designers, buyers and retailers. Winter Market runs from January 18-22 and will offer attendees a wealth of choices to connect with peers, become educated on industry trends and get insights on important issues impacting the future.

“Our goal is to offer valuable programming that attendees can’t find elsewhere,” said Scott Eckman, chief marketing and strategy officer of International Market Centers (IMC). “We look for leaders in their respective fields to share their knowledge and expertise – whether it’s a design icon like Carleton Varney a Pantone color expert like Laurie Pressman or an online powerhouse like Amazon – to help deliver cutting-edge, relevant and tangible information that attendees can apply to their business. We are pleased with this Market’s depth chart.”
