California Gift Show Partners With CMC

George Little Management, manager of the California Gift Show, and the California Market Center (CMC) are teaming up to extend their gift show offerings during the International Gift and Home Accessories Market, held twice a year in Los Angeles.

In March and September, George Little will present about 100 exhibiting companies in 10,000 square feet of temporary exhibition space on the CMC’s 13th floor. Offerings will include gifts, home accessories, handcrafts, fashion accessories and jewelry.

George Little will now offer four Los Angeles shows, including the CMC exhibition at the California Gift Show at the Los Angeles Convention Center in January and July.

The CMC was formed last year by dmg world media, the Dallas Market Center (DMC) and George Little, with dmg holding the master lease with Hertz Investment Corp., owner of the California Mart. The center now encompasses the Cal Mart and its apparel offerings and several floors of gift and home accessories showrooms, with plans to extend the gift portion to occupy half of the complex. Market Center Management Co. manages the CMC, the DMC and, under a newly formed deal, the ShanghaiMart in China.
