High Point Market is the world's largest home furnishings industry trade show, transforming downtown High Point, North Carolina into a sprawling network of showrooms twice a year. Furniture manufacturers, designers, retailers, buyers and press from around the globe fill hundreds of buildings across the city for roughly a week of product launches and orders. For a hotel-booking traveller the defining feature is scale versus supply: High Point is a small city with limited hotel rooms for an event drawing tens of thousands, so attendees spread across High Point, Greensboro, Winston-Salem and the wider Piedmont Triad, and even into short-term rentals. The Market runs an extensive free shuttle network linking a downtown Transportation Terminal, showroom districts and area hotels, which makes being on a shuttle route more important than being walking-distance to a specific building. Booking very early anywhere with reliable shuttle or highway access is the key to a smooth Market week.
Popular areas for attendees: Downtown High Point · Greensboro · Winston-Salem.

Where should you eat during High Point Market?
High Point is a small furniture-showroom city, so downtown dining is limited and books out solid during Market week; reserve days ahead. The real depth is a 20-min drive east to Greensboro, worth the taxi or rideshare for a serious client dinner.
