Market Pros are selectively chosen to represent different aspects of the market. This summer, the pros include 3 interior designers, a gift shop owner, and our very own CEO. Between the five individuals, they will be in charge of spotting the hottest products throughout the showrooms, and will be featured on the @lasvegasmarket Instagram page. The goal is to showcase the market experience and highlight products and brands found at Las Vegas Market. It will be a fun and informative trip, so make sure to tune in to our social channels to stay updated!
