This student event is structured to give university sophomores, juniors, and seniors meaningful insights into the High Point furniture market and a career in the home and furnishings industry.

Our opening speaker is Kimberly Joi McDonald an award-winning and published professional residential and hospitality interior designer who will talk about her career path and lessons she has learned along the way. This will be followed by an hour of round table discussions on industry topics, showroom tours, and a networking lunch.

We limit this event to 100 students so please register quickly. The cost is $10 per student and they can use the link below to register and pay. We will be securing market passes for students who register by October 4th.
