Despite historic flooding in August the Dallas Market Center and exhibitors have rebounded and will be show ready next week to welcome retailers. The Trade Mart 1st floor will be sporting a new bright and modern look with freshly polished concrete in the hallways. The World Trade Center welcomes new exhibitor, Monahan Papers in WTC 251 and is excited to debut two relocated showrooms, D. Stevens in WTC 404 and Regency International in WTC 407.
Also, with the expansion of our temporary trade show space on WTC 10 several showrooms have relocated to new homes. Join us in welcoming the following exhibitors to their new homes:
