The High Point Market Authority has officially announced that registration for the Fall 2018 High Point Market is now open. Likened to Fashion Week for home furnishings, the Fall High Point Market is slated for Saturday, Oct. 13, through Wednesday, Oct. 17.
Online registration is available at www.highpointmarket.org/register.
Tom Conley, president and CEO of the High Point Market Authority said, “Spring Market proved to be quite strong in terms of buyer turnout and the positive energy amongst both attendees and exhibitors, so we anticipate this excitement to translate into a solid fall event as well. There are a few new buildings making their debut in October, fall is typically stronger for international buyers and there’s already chatter about our programs and events such as The Point and Hospitality at Market, which are all encouraging indicators.”
With 11.5 million square feet of showspace across 180 buildings, High Point Market is the largest home furnishings trade show in the world. It brings more than 75,000 people to High Point, N.C., every six months to view product from more than 2,000 exhibitors. Approximately 10% of attendees are international.
