Urban Expositions has announced plans to relocate and revamp the former Miami Gift Show.

Renamed the Miami Beach Gift Show, the new semi-annual exhibition will expand and move to the Miami Beach Convention Center beginning with the August 26–29 edition.

The show had been held at the Miami International Merchandise Mart/Sheraton Center for the past eight years.

"In recent years, the Miami Mart has shifted from a trade building to a more public venue. This changing business landscape has made it very difficult for us to ensure the wholesale integrity of our trade-only gift show," said Doug Miller, president, Urban Expositions. "By relocating to the Miami Beach Convention Center, we will be able expand the show, take advantage of a state-of-the-art-facility in the wonderful South Beach setting, and foster a show environment that most effectively meets the needs of South Florida's tremendous retail audience, as well as our important Caribbean and Latin American retailers."

The show will feature more than 500 booths.
