Atlanta - The ICON Honors, the awards program for the home and gift industry launched this past summer by AmericasMart Atlanta and the Gift & Home Trade Association, is returning next year with a new media partner: Sandow Media, parent of Gifts & Decorative Accessories.
The event, which recognizes superior achievement, contribution and innovation in a variety of industry business classifications, is scheduled for Thursday, July 14, 2011 during the summer market at AmericasMart. Last year's inaugural event attracted more than 1,000 attendees.
The new member of the sponsorship triumvirate next year will be the Sandow Media group of home furnishings retail publications, also including Home Accents Today, Home Textiles Today, Furniture Today and Casual Living.
"ICON Honors emerges as both a dream realized and the promise of a resurging, renewing vision for 2011 and beyond," said Jeff Portman, AmericasMart president, "now made stronger through the Sandow Media partnership."
Speaking on the 2010 event, George Kacic, GHTA executive committee chairman and vice president of Ganz USA, said, "We saw an industry in search of new direction come together in one voice, on spectacular night to witness and applaud its magnificence and we expect the 2011 edition to be all of that and much more."
Details and deadlines for the 2011 event will be announced after the first of the year.
