(Atlanta, GA)—On April 3 – 4, 2017, top designers and buyers will gather at the Cobb Galleria Centre for CODE, a fresh new market designed to connect the contemporary women’s apparel industry. Organized by Market Maker Events, this invite-only market has been designed with the sophisticated tastes of America’s boutique shoppers in mind.
“It’s time for something fresh and new for women’s contemporary apparel in the Southeast. CODE provides an exclusive opportunity for the best designers to get in front of buyers,” says Market Maker Events managing partner Lori Kisner. A tradeshow industry veteran, Kisner has spent over three decades coordinating tradeshows and events. As a former executive with Americasmart where she managed the Atlanta Apparel Mart for five years, Kisner brings her experience with major brands such as the Surf Expo and the California Gift Show to make CODE an impressive event that industry insiders won’t want to miss.
Designed to bring together only the finest in women’s contemporary fashion, exhibition at CODE is by invitation only. The show will take place four times annually, providing buyers from across the Southeast with reliable access to the highest-quality designs year round.
