For the past few months, the Editor at Large team has been hard at work producing the first-ever curated, printed Designers’ Guide to next week’s High Point Market (October 18 – 23)—a free, multi-page tabloid-size newspaper featuring 80+ interior designer-focused events and highlights happening throughout Market.
The guide, which can be downloaded here, will be available for interior designers at various locations throughout market and includes everything from panel discussions to product debuts, cocktail parties to CEUs, tips from Market veterans and recommended places to hit while in town.

“Interior designers make up an increasingly significant portion of Market-goers and more brands are catering to them than ever before,” said Editor at Large President Julia Noran Johnston. “We began seeing designers walking around each Market carrying a stapled print-out of our web-based Guide and realized there was a greater need for this information.”
The listings are organized by day, time and location. This format is meant to give veterans and first-time Market attendees a clear, streamlined roadmap for the five-day affair, including a selection pre-Market events.
