4.7.14 | Miami, FL | The International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF), North America’s premier platform for global design, takes a special edition of the show on the road to the Miami Beach Convention Center in Miami, Florida, September 16 and 17, 2014. As the natural gateway between the Americas, Miami provides a unique venue for expanding the ICFF’s international reach.

As a two-day ICFF immersion experience, ICFF Miami offers full-on exposure to the ICFF’s A-list roster of emerging and established exhibitors and remarkable line-up of special features. The intimate setting in the Miami Beach Convention Center affords an unsurpassed opportunity for direct one-on-one engagement between exhibiting companies and pre-selected and qualified attendees: interior designers, architects, retailers, representatives, distributors, facility managers, developers, manufacturers, store designers, and visual merchandisers from Southeast U.S., Central and South America, and Caribbean.

“For the ICFF’s ahead-of-the-trend exhibitors, Central and South America are highlights on the global design map because the luxury residential and hospitality industries are in a construction surge and the region’s $10 billion luxury goods market is experiencing double-digit annual growth,” commented Kevin O’Keefe, GLM senior vice president. “We not only know the interior designers, architects, developers, and leading retailers who are driving the growth in the Americas, we know that our roster of exhibitors and features will draw them to ICFF Miami.”

Scheduled to run alongside HD Americas, the region’s foremost hospitality design trade show, ICFF Miami promises to be the place to be for the international design world in September.

Liz Sommerville, Emerald Expositions group show director, says, “Hospitality construction in Central and South America is booming. By 2015, industry experts forecast the design and completion of 372 new hotels and 56,000 rooms, nearly a third of which are luxury and upscale brands. For HD Americas’ leading global exhibitors, this marketplace couldn’t be more ideal. A special edition of the ICFF with HD Americas will only enhance Miami’s leading role as the place to be for Central and South American design professionals looking for the very best in furniture, lighting, materials, and accessories.”

Produced and managed by Emerald Expositions/GLM, ICFF Miami is supported by the Emerald Expositions design and building trade shows and events GlobalShop, HD Americas, HD Expo, Hospitality Design Summit, and KBIS, and industry publications Contract, Hospitality Design, K+BB, and Retail:Design. The Emerald Expositions trade shows, events, and publications engage tens of thousands of exhibitors and hundreds of thousands of attendees every year.
