AmericasMart Guide

One of the highlights of New Voices New Rooms in Atlanta is our docent-led tour of AmericasMart Atlanta, a leading wholesale marketplace housing the nation’s largest gift product mix. Although booksellers who signed up for the tour will have guest passes to visit the Mart, we highly recommend you take a few minutes before the tour and register with the Mart as a buyer. You can use your time at the Mart even more productively, opening accounts and placing buys for your holiday season. Thanks to the efforts of our friends at Eagle Eye Book Shop in Decatur, GA, two showroom floors will be open to our attendees, and the docents will also lead you to the ongoing Apparel Show. 

Please gather for the tour on Wednesday, Aug 6 at 1230PM by the registration desk in the foyer by the Imperial ballrooms. As the AmericasMart is less than two blocks away, this will be a walking tour from the hotel, much of it through interior pedestrian walkways. If you need any accommodations, including transportation, please contact our onsite lead on accessibility, Candice Huber, candice@sibaweb.com and we’ll make arrangements. 

Susan Kehoe of Browseabout Books, Rehoboth Beach, DE offers some great tips to make your experience better. Jamille Christman of Eagle Eye Book Shop also offers handy screenshots on registering as buyers.
