Fall 2024 Insiders Tour Guides
Jeanne K. Chung
Full-Day Tour
My High Point Market Insiders Tour will focus on lines that can customize and adapt their product to support the needs of the interior designer. I'll take my group to showrooms that carry upholstery, lighting, case goods, rugs, art, and more - all with the ability to tailor the product to the needs of each project. We will tackle several areas around High Point and while doing so, I will offer up advice on how to take advantage of everything Market has to offer. At the end of the day, each designer should feel confident enough to navigate Market on their own and will also have a better understanding of what questions to ask a new vendor to position themselves for success.
