by HIGH POINT — The High Point Market Authority (HPMA) announces its online registration deadline for guests to be mailed a Spring Market pass, required to attend this season’s trade event held April 25 – 29.
The complimentary service from HPMA ensures a printed pass is mailed to U.S. based guests who register online by April 10. Guests from abroad will receive a printed pass via international shipping carriers, if their online registration is completed by March 27.
“Register early to avoid the lines and onsite service fee,” says Tammy Covington, president and CEO of HPMA, organizer of the biannual home furnishings trade show. “With a mailed pass, Market guests can head straight to showroom appointments.”
Booking appointments directly with exhibitors is recommended. Guests can organize their personalized Market schedules using the trade show’s official High Point Market App.
“Beyond showroom access, a Spring Market pass is needed for entry into venues like The Point and the High Point Theatre, where educational and networking events are held, including our popular Keynote Series,” adds Covington. “Badges are also needed to attend evening events at Center Stage, like this season’s musical performance by iconic band Kool & The Gang.”
First-time buyers are also encouraged to visit the High Point Market website to reserve space for a guided showroom tour. A current Market pass is needed to register and participate.
Spring Market registration is available online at no charge to all qualified buyers—including retailers, dealers and professional interior designers—as well as to press, exhibitor representatives and students. For industry professionals who identify as suppliers or service providers, a registration fee will apply.
After registering, guests are invited to take advantage of the HPMA sponsored Travel Concierge service, operated by Travel Quest, Inc., to receive booking assistance and best pricing for accommodations, flights, and other travel arrangements.
