High Point Market Insider’s Tour
High Point Market is right around the corner, and again, I’ve teamed up with High Point Market and Esteem Media (the folks that run the Design Bloggers Conference – which by the way is next weekend), and the High Point Market Insider’s Tour is back this spring! If you’re a designer and have never been to High Point Market, you are missing out! Last spring I led the first ever “Insider’s Tour” and due to the overwhelming positive feedback, we’re doing it again! High Point Market will be taking place this spring from April 14-18, and the “Insider’s Tour” will take place on the Saturday and Sunday of Market. Attending the tour at the beginning of market should give buyers a quick overview so that they will be more comfortable navigating the showrooms during the remainder of their time at Market.
Last market I wrote a comprehensive post on the virtues of attending Market with someone who knows the ins and outs of High Point Market.

I’d love to show you the ropes this spring. To apply, please click on the High Point Market Insider’s Tour badge below and you will be taken to the questionnaire that High Point Market has provided to qualify buyers for the tour. It sounds like it’s more than it really is, but it’s just to make sure you’re really a designer/buyer and are truly a HPMkt newbie.
