ATLANTA MARKET 2027 · ATLANTA · JANUARY 12–17

Six days. Three buildings. 51 floors.
Follow up on every buyer you actually met.

MeetDrop is a lead capture app for trade shows. After each conversation you speak one sentence into your phone, and the follow-up email is written and sent before they reach the next aisle.

Winter 2027 is Atlanta Market's 70th anniversary edition: 6,000+ brands across gift, home décor, furnishings, tabletop and outdoor living, in three interconnected buildings with 51 floors of showrooms, drawing retailers and designers from more than 60 countries. Here is how to leave AmericasMart with the follow-ups already sent.

January 12 – 17, 2027 Showrooms January 12–17, 9 a.m.–6 p.m.; First Finds temporary exhibits January 13–17, 9 a.m.–5:30 p.m., closing 2 p.m. Sunday AmericasMart Atlanta, Atlanta

Curious how it feels? Try it on yourself

1 · You say it

Snap their card or badge, tap the mic, and say what you would have scribbled on the back. Seven seconds, in your own words.

Just met Jack from Northwind, wants the partner agreement, review Thursday.

2 · MeetDrop writes it

Name, company and what they asked for are pulled out. The email is written in your voice, with the right link already in it, and the lead is scored against the people you came for.

The partner agreement — as promised at the booth

3 · You press send

Read two lines, press Send, and it leaves from your own address. Nothing ever goes out that you did not press. Replies land in your inbox.

"So you’ll email me?" — "Already sent, Jack."

Seventy-three seconds, start to finish. The booth is a dramatization; every phone screen is the real app, recorded live. “Already sent, Jack. Take care.”

How Market week actually goes

Tuesday, January 12 — showrooms open, 9 to 6

The permanent showrooms open first and run the full six days. Fifty-one floors is not a hall you walk in an afternoon — buyers plan routes, and the ones who reach you are the ones who meant to.

Wednesday, January 13 — First Finds opens too

The temporary exhibits start a day after the showrooms and run 9 to 5:30. Now both halves of the market are live at once and the days stop having gaps in them.

Thursday to Saturday — the middle of the week

Independent retailers and interior designers from more than 60 countries, working building to building. Every conversation gets a card and by Thursday nobody can tell Tuesday's from Wednesday's.

Sunday, January 17 — First Finds closes at 2

The temporaries break at 2 p.m. and the week is over. The follow-up is now a task for the week you are back, competing with 6,000 other brands the same buyer saw.

With MeetDrop, the follow-up left with the conversation

After each buyer walks off, whoever spoke to them taps the mic and says what they would have written on the card. You go home with a lead list that already shows who opened and who replied.

MeetDrop is free for Atlanta Market. Ten spots on each side of the aisle.

Ten Pro plans for people walking the floor, ten Team plans for booths. The price is one public post saying you are going.

One app, both sides of the aisle

However you work the show, the follow-up is sent before the conversation cools.

Six days is long enough to forget

Most shows are three days. Atlanta Market is six, across three buildings — which is twice as many conversations and twice as long for Tuesday's to blur.

Every badge is a buyer

Admission is trade only, approved for retail, interior design, hospitality and wholesale with a resale affiliation. No public, no browsers.

One showroom, one list

Several staff across a showroom or a First Finds booth, one shared pool with dedupe — so the designer who came back twice gets one follow-up, not two.

Questions people ask before Atlanta Market

What exactly is MeetDrop, and why use it at Atlanta Market?

A lead capture app for people who meet buyers in person. You photograph a card and say one sentence about what they wanted — the line, the delivery window, the store they buy for — and MeetDrop writes the follow-up in your voice and sends it when you press Send. Over six days and 51 floors, the buyer who loved your collection on Tuesday has seen several hundred more by Sunday.

When and where is Atlanta Market 2027?

Winter Atlanta Market runs January 12 to 17, 2027 at AmericasMart Atlanta. Note the two halves have different hours: permanent showrooms run January 12–17 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., while the First Finds temporary exhibits run January 13–17 from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., closing at 2 p.m. on the final Sunday.

How big is Atlanta Market?

The January 2027 edition features 6,000+ brands across gift, home décor, furnishings, tabletop and outdoor living, in three interconnected buildings on one campus with 51 floors of showrooms and temporary exhibits, drawing retailers and designers from more than 60 countries.

Is Atlanta Market open to the public?

No. Admission is trade only: registration is approved for active members of the retail, interior design, hospitality or wholesale industries with a resale affiliation. For an exhibitor that means no qualifying after the show — everyone who walked into your showroom buys for a living.

What is the difference between a showroom and First Finds?

Permanent showrooms are the year-round spaces in the buildings; First Finds is the temporary exhibition, which opens a day later and closes earlier on the final day. They keep different hours, which is worth knowing if you are working both or planning which days to staff.

What is special about Winter 2027?

It is Atlanta Market's 70th anniversary edition. Looking further ahead, from January 2028 The Inspired Home Show will be presented alongside Winter Atlanta Market, expanding AmericasMart's housewares and tabletop footprint — so 2027 is the last winter market in its current shape.

What does MeetDrop cost?

Free to start: unlimited leads, with 10 AI follow-up emails a month written and sent for you. An Event Pass is $49 for one show: 200 AI follow-up emails, for 30 days from the first one, with replies coming back to your own address. Pro is $99 a month, or $79 billed annually, for unlimited AI follow-ups, sending from your own domain, lead scoring and CRM sync. Team is $199 with three seats, which is the one to look at if you are running a stand with a crew. Ten Pro and ten Team plans are free for Atlanta Market through January 31.

How soon should I follow up after Atlanta Market?

During the week, not after it. Six days is long enough that Tuesday's conversations are already cold by Friday, and buyers write their orders while the market is still on. The follow-up that lands the same evening reaches somebody who can still picture your showroom; the one that waits for the drive home competes with 6,000 brands.

Can attendees use MeetDrop at Atlanta Market, or only exhibitors?

Both. Retailers and designers capture the lines they want to carry — useful when you are working 51 floors and relying on memory to tell floor 8 from floor 14. Showrooms and First Finds booths run their whole staff into one shared list with dedupe. Ten free spots on each side.

Do I need to install anything?

No. It runs in your phone's browser, which is what you want when your staff are spread across a showroom for six days. Sign in with Google or an emailed code, set Atlanta Market as your event, and the capture screen is ready. There is an iOS app if you prefer one.
