These curated B2B trade events will focus on home & gift and lighting industries and are designed to connect U.S. brands and importers with production-ready partners from Mexico, Central, and South America that have been vetted to assure they are good sourcing partners.
Nearshoring America Expo for home & gift will take place January 7–9, 2026, on the 13th floor of the World Trade Center during the Dallas Total Home & Gift Market, while Nearshoring America for lighting will be held January 10–11 on the fourth floor of the Trade Mart. A Nearshoring America Expo focused on apparel & accessories is also being developed and will be announced soon
