Fall High Point Market

Registration for this fall’s edition of the world’s largest furnishings trade show is open to U.S. and international buyers, including retailers, residential and commercial interior designers; exhibitor personnel, press, industry professionals and students. The biannual, trade-only High Point Market will take place October 14-18.

Inspiration abounds every spring and fall as High Point Market comes alive with showroom after showroom of meticulous design, more educational opportunities than several conferences combined, endless networking opportunities, and the resources you need to move your business forward. The Fall Market will include events, tours, education, dining and entertainment, networking and visits to more than 11.5 million square feet of showroom space.

Qualifying registrants will be issued a Market pass, which is required for entry into buildings and showrooms across the 13-block Market District. Guests who register prior to Sep. 29 (Sep. 15 for international attendees), will receive their Market pass in the mail. Registration assistance is available by contacting the High Point Market Authority directly at (336) 869-1000 during normal business hours (ET), or by emailing registration@highpointmarket.org.

“Early planning pays off in dividends for High Point Market guests,” says Tammy Nagem, president and CEO of the High Point Market Authority (HPMA). “Our team is available to field any questions, and we’re eager to help make Market registration and travel planning a seamless experience.”

Further preparations are recommended for Market guests, such as setting showroom appointments directly with exhibitors, and then customizing an all-inclusive High Point Market schedule using the official High Point Market App. The user-friendly app developed by HPMA is downloadable to iOS and Android devices, as well as to desktop computers.

All programming and events marketwide, including a performance by Barenaked Ladies at Center Stage on Sunday evening, are being added to the website. Event details will auto populate in the customized MyMarket schedule when selected directly from the High Point Market App.

“After registering, we recommend planning ahead to take advantage of the many educational and networking opportunities available exclusively to our guests attending High Point Market,” adds Nagem. “Don’t miss the HPMA-organized events scheduled at The Point as well as the High Point Theatre, where our star-studded Keynote Series is held.”

New buyers may also plan early to secure a spot in one of the useful guided showroom tours offered by HPMA by visiting the High Point Market website later this month.

Online registration will remain open until 5pm ET on Oct. 11. Onsite registration is also available for a $30 processing fee. S P Visit www.highpointmarket.org for info and to register.
