Designhounds Bootcamp Comes to High Point Market

2026 by Karen Parrish in Business Strategy, Designer Weekly, Industry 
The Designhounds Bootcamps are a nationwide series of product training workshops created for interior designers, kitchen and bath professionals, builders, remodelers and dealers. The educational format—combining product demonstrations, construction and installation education, material exploration and open dialogue—gives designers the confidence to better understand the products they specify every day.
HPXD is proud to partner with Designhounds to bring this level of education to High Point. It is an opportunity, providing a special opportunity designed to empower designers at High Point Market, Oct 16 from 11:30am – 7pm at Congdon Yards in High Point. The bootcamp is designed to cultivate a depth of knowledge, and sharpen your design edge.
Designhounds bootcamps are free to attend and built specifically for design and construction professionals who specify, build, and install products — not consumers or sales pitches. Because space is limited, a refundable $149 seat reservation is required to hold the spot. Refunds are issued at the time of check-in.
The full-day Product Education Workship starts at 11:30am and ends at 7pm. Lunch and the Designhounds community cocktail reception are included.
New for 2026, Designhounds Bootcamps are immersive, small-format workshops created to deepen product understanding for actively specifying interior designers, kitchen and bath professionals, and residential design specifiers. Unlike traditional CEU presentations or showroom events, Bootcamps focus on how products actually work — how they’re built, installed, specified, and supported in real-world projects.
