Dallas Market Center (DMC<\/a>) has announced the expansion of its international sourcing initiative, Nearshoring America, with two expos set to take place during the January 2026 Total Home & Gift and Lightovation Markets. These curated B2B trade events will focus on home & gift and lighting industries and are designed to connect U.S. brands and importers with production-ready partners from Mexico, Central, and South America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nearshoring America Expo for home & gift <\/a>will take place January 7\u20139, 2026, during the Dallas Total Home & Gift Market, while Nearshoring America for lighting<\/a> will be held January 10\u201311.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As global sourcing becomes more unpredictable, nearshoring offers a faster, smarter alternative. These events empower U.S. retailers and importers to meet face-to-face with vetted partners throughout Latin America \u2014 improving flexibility, delivery speed, and collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNearshoring America is more than a sourcing event \u2014 it\u2019s a learning environment and a launchpad for resilient, regional supply chains,\u201d said Cindy Morris, President & CEO of DMC. \u201cBy aligning these expos with our most important trade events of the year, we are maximizing exposure and creating the most efficient, value-driven experience for our buyers and exhibitors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nearshoring America Expo: Home & Gift<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dallas Total Home & Gift Market | January 7\u20139<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nearshoring America: Home & Gift, located on the 13th<\/sup> floor of the World Trade Center, will connect buyers with vetted manufacturers specializing in home d\u00e9cor, gifts, and lifestyle accessories. From handcrafted collections to turnkey production, manufacturers offer a curated mix of outdoor living, tableware & entertaining, textiles, home and seasonal d\u00e9cor, gifts, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nearshoring America Expo: Lighting<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lightovation | January 10\u201311, 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held on the 4th floor of the Trade Mart, the lighting Expo will focus on lighting design, components, and manufacturing partnerships tailored to the evolving demands of residential and commercial lighting. Exhibitors will feature: finished lighting fixtures, components for custom installations, smart and connected lighting systems, ceiling fans, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cAs importing becomes more challenging for logistical and geopolitical reasons, nearshoring offers a timely and strategic alternative. Being able to connect with suppliers in the Americas \u2013 much closer to home \u2013 presents exciting new opportunities for our business,\u201d Brandon Levin, president of Justice Design Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCollaboration is going to continue and these types of events help us see the possibility to keep growing. I have no doubt that the nearshoring spectrum is going to become more popular,\u201d Andres Flores, director at EquityLink America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNearshoring is real  \u2014and it\u2019s happening right here in Dallas. Events like this open your eyes to what\u2019s possible when you bring production closer to home. It\u2019s not just about efficiency \u2014 it\u2019s about building smarter, faster, and more resilient supply chains,\u201d noted Charles Shepherd, vp\/business development at NovaLink Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
