Tour HPMKT like an Insider – October 16th 2021
Hello Fringe Friends, High Point Market is an incredible sourcing and educational opportunity, but it can be challenging to navigate if you haven’t been before. Let me be your guide on the High Point Market Insider’s Tour October 2021
I’ve hosted 4 incredible tours, and I’ve been invited back to lead a tour for new attendees and YOU are invited. Do you qualify as a new buyer and will attend High Point Market for the first time? Or have you only been to one market in the last two years? Then this One Day COMPLIMENTARY Tour Saturday October 16th, is for you!
This is a perfect primer to see different areas of market, including transportation options, educational seminars, networking events, helpful digital tools, and the best refueling and party spots, so when you navigate your next day(s) of market, you’ll be comfortable, confident, and be able to use your your time to maximum capacity. Let me help you reach your market goals.

An educational event is always on our agenda.
I’ve been a HPMKT attendee for 20+ years and love introducing professionals to the incredible resource it is.
I’m in a unique position as a design consultant and influencer to work closely with a wide spectrum of manufacturers with a deep understanding of their product, production, and business practices. I’ve curated four HPMKT Insider’s Tours since 2018, was on the HPMKT Design Bloggers Tour both Spring & Fall 2017, was co-chair of the Withit New York Design Tour for ten years, and lead customize tours in NYC’s Garment District and Venice: Maker Tourism. Experiential tours are my passion, let me gift this one to you.
Simply put, I love connecting the most talented and innovative in our industry, giving people a special, insider introduction that they might never have on their own.
In addition to our showroom visits, I will give you our customized booklet with contact info for each product line, required order minimums, additional not-to-miss showrooms and social media handles so you can cover market with a cheat sheet in hand.
Taking buses, shuttles, and walking to different areas of High Point are all part of the market experience. My tour will help you navigate market on your own like a pro.
