ith travel restrictions still in place in some parts of the world, attracting the same number of international visitors to 41 Madison for the Summer 2021 New York Tabletop Show was going to be a challenge. But organisers rose to the occasion and offered special online events which attracted people from over 50 countries, in addition to launching new in-person services that were well received by visitors who were able to physically attend. In fact, with this hybrid event there was a significant increase in attendees both online and inperson since the previous show in October 2020. During the show, 41 Madison launched a new innovative creative meeting space MEET hospitality which offers a freshly renovated lounge on Level A for guests to enjoy, and top of the line meeting rooms designed to energize and inspire. Upgraded service offerings with 41 Madison Concierge were also launched which provides new in-person and online service that offers personalised

The concierge team can offer information about showrooms, brands, product categories, price points and even facilitate introductions and appointments to brands. Buyers can also look to the team for travel, dining and lodging assistance and recommendations. The 41 Madison Concierge can be
accessed by phone, email or live chat on 41Madison.com from 9AM - 5PM on weekdays. Those attending in person were also able to see the new showrooms that opened their doors which included LAV Glass and Porland. But so others didn’t miss out, 41 Madison Live! gave livestreamed tours of the new showrooms, products and events. Hosted by Adam Glassman, creative director of Oprah Daily and Kelley Carter, home fashion director for Bloomingdale’s, the videos provided insight into some of the new lines from companies including Vista Alegre and Blue Pheasant. The videos are still available to watch at 41Madison. com. Finally, 41 Madison are pleased to say they raised nearly $10,000 for God’s Love We Deliver through the #TableTogether auction and fundraiser event. Tablescapes by celebrity designer
and stylists Alexa Hampton, Young Huh and Adam Glassman were auctioned as part of the proceedings and featured tableware from Waterford, Tar Hong, Blue Pheasant and others in the three creative and beautiful designs. The next New York Tabletop Show is planned for October 5-8 at 41 Madison.
