Nearshoring America 2026 Provides Matchmaking Format

For January 2026, the show moves to one-on-one private meetings between Latin America producers and U.S. importers.

As the global sourcing market gets ever more complicated with constantly changing tariffs and regulations the Dallas Market Center has adapted a new format for the second year of its Nearshoring America event, being held concurrently with January market weeks for the total home sectors.

“We’re pairing Dallas Market Center brands with verified Latin American production partners for curated, private meetings during the Nearshoring Matchmaking Event,” said Cindy Morris, CEO of the Market Center in announcing the new format for the event, being held January 7 to 13, 2026 at the Dallas Market Center.

“With this complimentary matchmaking it’s an opportunity to connect, match and produce, all closer to home.”

This next phase builds on two years of research and success — connecting U.S. brands in gift, home, lighting and fashion accessories with proven factories and suppliers from Mexico and Latin America.

Here’s how it works:

• Share your sourcing needs and production goals through the Matchmaking Interest Form.

• DMC’s Nearshoring America team will identify qualified suppliers that align with your criteria.

• Meet one-on-one at Dallas Market Center during our 2026 matchmaking sessions.

“Our goal,” said Morris “is to help you remove friction from sourcing, reduce lead times and build resilient, nearshore supply chains — closer to home.”
