Twice a year industry insiders across the world flock to High Point Market, the trade-only show that claims ‘if you can’t find it at High Point, it probably doesn’t exist’. The world’s largest home furnishings trade show is set to return this October, wowing at expected 75,000 attendees with over 2,000 exhibitors, spread across 180 buildings in a total space of 11.5 million square feet.
Open to visitors from the 22nd – 26th October, High Point Market has long been recognised as one of the most exciting and impactful events on the furnishings and interiors calendar. Known as the Fashion Week of furniture, North Carolina’s biannual furnishing superstar is set to cement its status as a trade show of truly international importance, with an estimated 10% of visitors travelling to the fall edition of High Point Market from outside the United States, representing over 100 countries.
Alongside a plethora of new product introductions spread across 180 buildings, the event will also host the Product Premiere program, affording designers, retailers and industry professionals the chance to get involved in a detailed program of talks and educational events that will touch on industry trends and product highlights, as well as a schedule of social events for limitless networking opportunities with an international commuting of furnishings and design professionals. We particularly look forward to the Style Spotter’s LIVE! panel, hosted by Ann Maine, Editor-in-Chief of Traditional Home, and the Design Viewpoint Series of CEU accredited seminars, featuring topics tailored specifically to the needs of professional designers.
