NY NOW IS NAMED A TOP 100 EVENT IN NEW YORK BY BIZBASH

NY NOW^® is recognized as one of the most influential annual events in New York.

February 26, 2020 – BizBash, the premier resource for event and meeting professionals in North America, has announced that NY NOW has been recognized on its annual list of Top 100 Events in New York. These annual experiences have continued to break barriers,
challenge the norm, and push limits to reach and thoughtfully engage audiences.

NY NOW is the modern wholesale trade show for retailers and specialty buyers looking to source a diverse range of products and brands with an emphasis on design and discovering what’s new. Presenting more than 40 product categories across 12 distinct sections
in a relaxed, friendly and collaborative community of like-minded buyers, business owners, designers and more, NY NOW is the go-to-market for what’s fresh and innovative across lifestyle, handmade and home.

“Events that are new to our list or that moved up from last year share one thing in common: They’re utterly unique,” said Beth Kormanik, BizBash editor in chief. “Whether they’re a music festival or a business conference, they offer have-to-be-there experiences
that attendees know they can’t miss. The challenge for event organizers is to keep topping themselves year after year.”

“NY NOW is all about sharing what’s new, fresh and innovative with our community of retailers, designers, and influencers,” said Trish Borrelli, Sr. Attendee Acquisition Manager, NY NOW. “We gather twice each year to debut the newest products, promote the most
talented emerging brands we’ve scoured the globe to uncover and share the latest tools to engage consumers. Retailers are looking to us to help them stay ahead of the curve and we take that responsibility very seriously, which inspires us to continuously evolve
and deliver something new and exciting each Market. It’s very rewarding to be recognized as a standout to 100 events in New York by BizBash.”
