About Northwest Market Association

 

NMA hosts two markets (a Spring Market and a Fall Market) every year in Portland, Oregon. The market attracts exhibitors and buyers from all over the Pacific Northwest, including Oregon, Washington, northern California, Idaho, Montana, and southwest British Columbia.

The Northwest Market Association started over 40 years ago.  Initially known as Pacific Northwest Shoe Travelers, we changed our name to Northwest Market Association in 1996 and began including apparel and accessories in our market in addition to footwear.  The market has been held at the Embassy Suites – Portland Airport for a number of years, until 2008, when we outgrew that space and moved to Embassy Suites – Washington Square, where we have more convention center space and more suites.
