ATLANTA, July 2007—AmericasMart®Atlanta has embarked on major facility developments, creating unique space and more opportunities for Atlanta’s prospering convention service offerings. In addition to its already established space, AmericasMart will provide new unprecedented venues for conventions and meetings and will help continue the growing awareness of Atlanta as a destination. These significant expansions have led to the promotion of AmericasMart’s Brian Quirk as vice president of Convention Center Sales.

As vice president, Quirk oversees the sales and execution of all AmericasMart convention center events and tradeshows. His roles will expand as AmericasMart’s space grows with the launch of additional exhibit halls in Building Two West and the opening of the Building One ballroom and conference center—both scheduled for 2009. Quirk will be responsible for leasing the tradeshow and event hall space in Building Two West, as well as the landmark ballroom and conference center in Building One.

“AmericasMart is taking convention center services to the next level and continuing to revolutionize conference and meeting offerings in Atlanta,” says Chas Syndey, senior vice president of new business development, AmericasMart. “Spearheading this movement is Brian, a veteran of AmericasMart and the industry. We look forward to his leadership and strengths to help grow our company.”

AmericasMart Atlanta is the largest wholesale marketplace of its kind in the world, and is a leading international market source for a wide variety of consumer goods. It hosts 25 wholesale markets and six Market Wednesdays that annually attract more than 548,000 attendees from every U.S. state and 80 countries.

Retailers attending its markets identify AmericasMart as the gift/home furnishings/area rug wholesale marketplace most important to their business—as compared to all competing U.S. wholesale markets—in independent research conducted by Moore & Symons, Inc.
