Early registration to attend High Point Market is available at no charge to U.S. and international buyers, including retailers, residential and commercial interior designers; as well as for press registration, exhibitor personnel and students. A registration fee is required for all other industry professionals.

All 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 April 11 (or March 28 for international attendees) will receive their Market pass in the mail.

Online registration for Spring Market will remain open until 5pm ET on April 23, also at no charge. After this date, guests will be directed to register onsite during the event and pay a $30 processing fee. 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.

Market guests are encouraged to register early, and also to contact the HPMA-sanctioned Market Concierge service by Travel Quest, Inc., for assistance with booking overnight accommodations, flights and other long-distance transportation.

“Planning ahead can make the most out of your Market experience,” says Tammy Covington, HPMA president and CEO. “Our complimentary concierge service helps guests source the best options and pricing for hotels, flights and more.”

Additional preparations are recommended before traveling, such as booking showroom appointments directly with exhibitors and populating a personalized MyMarket schedule using the official High Point Market App. Developed by HPMA, the user-friendly app is downloadable on iOS and Android devices. The app is also accessible on desktop computers via the My Market sign in link on the website. 

In March, the High Point Market website event calendar will begin listing all marketwide educational programming and networking events, including this season’s Keynote Series speakers and entertainment headliner at Center Stage. Event details will auto-populate in the customized MyMarket schedule when selected directly from the High Point Market App.

HPMA offers guided showroom tours to first-time buyers. Visit the High Point Market website to reserve a tour spot.

“High Point Market is not only an unparalleled resource for new and vintage products; it’s a unique catalyst for entrepreneurs to grow their business,” adds Covington. “Biannually, the trade show serves as our industry’s hub for educational content from industry experts sharing their exclusive insights for long-term success.” 

Las Vegas Market has presented “Best Booth” Awards to six Gift & Home temporary exhibitors, recognizing exceptional merchandising and visual design across the 450 brands showcased at the Expo at World Market Center Las Vegas through Wednesday, January 29, 2025.
