CMC Hosts Gift/Apparel Vendor Meetings

The California Market Center (CMC) will host the first of a series of “Vendor Blender” networking meetings from 4 to 6 p.m. on Sept. 19 in suite B-271.

The meetings are aimed at giving apparel and gift/home accessories tenants of the CMC opportunities to develop cross-merchandising relationships.

The center, which houses the California Mart, launched an expansion last year to include gift industry vendors in addition to the longtime apparel industry base.

The first meeting will match gift/home accessories tenants with intimate apparel and accessories tenants. Future meetings will be open to other apparel categories. The meetings are also open to buying offices. Showroom tours will be available as well.

Interested tenants can register by calling Liz Riley at (213) 630-3882. —Robert McAllister
