The High Point Market Authority announced this week that it is partnering with Soft Design Lab to produce a new buyer tour for the Fall Market, Oct. 14-18.
The tour developed to bring new buyers to market will include a multi-day schedule of showroom visits, educational events and networking opportunities.
Returning for its sixth market, the “VIP #HPMKT Experience” is produced and hosted by industry experts Deb Barrett and Jackie Von Tobel of Soft Design Lab, an online base camp and creative community dedicated to providing advanced education on soft furnishings design and business.
The 6-day tour is geared towards people who are new to market or haven’t been within the past few markets. The tour includes four star accommodations, private luncheons and dinners and more.
Elizabeth MacPhail of Liz MacPhail Interiors joined the tour for Spring Market 2017.
“What a whirlwind,” MacPhail said. “I’m inspired, challenged to think about my business differently, full of new and diverse resources and armed with connections with other women in the business to help challenge and encourage each other.”
Mary Crane of Mary Crane Interiors, who was also part of the Spring 2017 tour, added, “It surpassed my expectations by a mile; I'll be on a ‘High Point’ high for days!”
