High Point Market Exhibitor Guide

Also known as the High Point Furniture Market, formerly the Southern Furniture Market and the International Home Furnishings Market; its anchor building is the International Home Furnishings Center (IHFC)

Not one building but a whole downtown: more than 11.5 million sq ft of showrooms at over 160 addresses, open to the home-furnishings trade for one week each April and October. More than 90% of the space is permanent, leased by the year. The rest, the temporary space where a new brand can take a booth for one Market, is almost all ANDMORE's, in Suites at Market Square, SALON and InterHall at the IHFC.

  • 3,000+ exhibitors served
  • 10,000+ booths built

Quick answers

What exhibitors ask about High Point Market

Where do I exhibit?In a building, not a hall.

Each of the 160+ addresses leases its own space. The Market Authority runs the Market, registration and transport; you sign with the building, and each venue sets its own sizes and terms.

Can I take a booth for one Market?Yes, in temporary space.

Less than 10% of the Market is temporary and ANDMORE holds 99% of it: Suites at Market Square, SALON on its first floor, and InterHall at the IHFC.

Can my staff set up?Usually, yes.

North Carolina is right-to-work. ANDMORE's 2025 manual for its Market Square temporary exhibit let exhibitors set up their own displays, with power tools only for assembling product.

Where do I stay?Often outside downtown.

Downtown has few hotels, so the Market Authority runs free shuttles from about 80 hotels, three airports and two Park & Ride lots. Book early for April and October.

Only at High Point

High Point Market temporary space: Suites at Market Square, SALON and InterHall

Temporary space is booked for one Market through ANDMORE: Suites at Market Square has 300+ exhibitors, SALON 30+ design brands on its first floor, and InterHall sits inside the IHFC. All three open the Friday before the Market.

Most of High Point is permanent showrooms, leased all year and opened for the April and October Markets. If you are not ready for that, there is one main route in: ANDMORE's temporary exhibit space, booked for a single Market. Here is how the options differ.

  • SuitesSuites at Market Square, at 200 West Commerce Avenue, is the Market's main temporary exhibit hall, with more than 300 exhibitors, and in 2025 it marked 25 years. It opens on the Friday, a day before the Market.
  • SALONA curated, design-forward collection of 30+ brands on the first floor of Suites, aimed at designers looking for something new.
  • InterHallANDMORE's temporary exhibit venue inside the International Home Furnishings Center, the Market's anchor building, also open a day early.
  • Shoppe ObjectANDMORE's artisan show of 100+ brands ran in Historic Market Square in 2025, with its own manual: setup two days ahead, POV unloading at the Lindsay Street dock and free drayage for boxed freight.
  • PermanentEverything else: showrooms leased by the year from ANDMORE or one of 110+ independent owners, each with its own size, lease terms and build-out rules.

Eighteen new temporary exhibitors signed with SALON, Suites and InterHall for Fall 2026 alone. Leasing contacts are in the Market Authority's leasing guide. Showing in Greensboro instead? See our Koury Convention Center guide.

History

From the 1909 Southern Furniture Market to High Point Market

The first formal Southern Furniture Market ran in March 1909. In 1921 the Southern Furniture Exposition Building opened downtown, and it grew wing by wing into the International Home Furnishings Center. The Market took its current twice-a-year pattern in 1982, and since 2001 a Market Authority has run it across every building in town.

What changed at High Point Market in 2025–2026

  • ANDMORE announced a new IHFC Designer Lounge (D701) and said InterHall, on the IHFC's first floor, would open April 25, a day before the Spring Market (ANDMORE).
  • The High Point Market Authority said it will move in 2027 from the Historic Radio Building, 164 S Main St, to the third floor of 115 S Hamilton St, one block north of the Market Transportation Terminal (HPMA).
  • Eighteen new temporary exhibitors signed across SALON, Suites at Market Square and InterHall for the October 17–21 Fall Market, with temporary space opening Friday, October 16 (ANDMORE).

The district

High Point Market floor plan: IHFC, the showroom buildings and the temporary space

High Point Market spreads over downtown High Point. The 1921 exposition building that became the International Home Furnishings Center is the anchor, with ANDMORE's Showplace, Market Square and Main Street buildings around it, and dozens of independent showrooms in districts such as Hamilton Wrenn. The diagram groups the main buildings by type; it is not a street map.

High Point Market has more than 11.5 million sq ft of showrooms at over 160 addresses, anchored by the IHFC at 210 E Commerce Ave. Under 10% is temporary space, almost all ANDMORE's: Suites at Market Square, SALON and InterHall.

Freight & move-in

High Point Market loading docks and freight

Get directions to High Point Market →

There is no Market-wide dock or decorator: freight goes to the building you lease from, by appointment. In ANDMORE's 2025 manual, boxed freight moved free, with extra fees over 5 ft 8 in, over 2,000 lbs or after the deadline.

  • Every building has its own dockThere is no single Market dock or decorator. Freight goes to the building you lease from, under that building's rules, so get its shipping instructions with your lease.
  • Book the dockANDMORE's 2025 Shoppe Object manual required a scheduled dock appointment for every freight service, receiving, load-out and labor, and asked for up to 24 hours to confirm.
  • Lindsay Street dockFor that Market Square exhibit, cars and vans unloaded at the Lindsay Street dock, 115 S Lindsay Street, reached from Green Drive, and could stay about 30 minutes; two people per vehicle were recommended.
  • Free drayage, with limitsThe same manual gave free drayage for boxed, crated, cartoned or palletized freight, but charged extra for any piece over 5 ft 8 in wide or high or 7 ft long, a special fee over 2,000 lbs and $300 for freight after the deadline.
  • Long receiving windowFreight for that 2025 exhibit could be received from March 26, a month before the show opened on April 26, until 3 p.m. on April 22.

These rules come from ANDMORE's 2025 Shoppe Object – High Point setup and shipping page, the only public High Point exhibitor manual we found. Suites, SALON, InterHall and independent buildings send their own instructions: follow the current one for your building.

Common exhibitor mistakes at High Point Market

  • Expecting one Market dock or decorator: each building receives its own freight under its own rules.
  • Building pieces over 5 ft 8 in wide or high, or 7 ft long: ANDMORE's 2025 manual charged extra for them, and special handling over 2,000 lbs.
  • Missing the freight deadline: the same manual added a $300 fee for freight after the deadline.
  • Driving to the dock without an appointment, or parking there: every freight service needed a scheduled appointment, and cars could stay about 30 minutes.
  • Bringing power tools to build the booth: in ANDMORE's temporary exhibit they were limited to assembling product, and hard-wired electrical went to BECO.
  • Keeping the dock carts: an unreturned flat cart or trash bin was billed $400 and a dolly $125.
  1. Day −120Choose permanent or temporary space and sign with the building; leasing is venue by venue.
  2. Day −60Register every staff member with the Market Authority: everyone needs a pass.
  3. Day −35Book electrical work through the building's vendor; at ANDMORE, BECO does all hard-wired work.
  4. Day −28Purple ships to High Point through our carrier network, to your building's receiving dock in its window.
  5. Day −2Dock appointment for any car or van; plan two people and a fast unload.

Labor & rules

Who sets up my showroom or booth at High Point Market?

North Carolina is a right-to-work state, and there is no Market-wide general contractor: each building sets its own rules. In ANDMORE's 2025 manual for its temporary exhibit at Market Square, exhibitors could set up their own displays, power tools were limited to assembling product, and all hard-wired electrical work had to be done by ANDMORE's preferred vendor, BECO. Permanent showrooms are built out under your lease with the building.

Usually your own team. North Carolina is right-to-work and there is no Market-wide contractor; ANDMORE's 2025 manual let exhibitors set up their own displays, but hard-wired electrical had to go through its vendor, BECO.

✓Your own team

  • Set up your own display (ANDMORE temporary space, 2025)
  • Unload your own car or van at the dock, by appointment
  • Build out a permanent showroom under your lease

●Through the building

  • Hard-wired electrical (BECO at ANDMORE)
  • Dock scheduling and freight receiving
  • Porters and freight elevators

!Watch for

  • Power tools only for product assembly in temporary space

High Point Market drayage estimator and show budget

Pick a booth size and type to get planning numbers for 2026 and 2027: shipping weight, drayage at about $95 per hundredweight, and installation and dismantling (I&D) labor. Every number is a Purple planning estimate, not a quote: High Point has no Market-wide drayage tariff, and ANDMORE's 2025 Shoppe Object manual included free drayage for boxed freight, so your building's terms may beat this. North Carolina is right-to-work. All-venue rates are on the drayage rates page.

Plan on about $95 per hundredweight unless your building includes drayage. That is a Purple planning figure: High Point has no Market-wide tariff, and ANDMORE's 2025 manual moved boxed freight free.

How these planning numbers work

  • Shipping weight: about 6 lbs per sq ft for a rental booth, 9 for custom or hybrid, 12 for fully custom, crated, with graphics and furniture.
  • Drayage: $95 per 100 lbs (cwt), Purple's High Point planning rate for 2026 and 2027, with a 200 lb minimum. Loose or pad-wrapped freight adds 30%. If your building includes drayage for boxed freight, as ANDMORE's 2025 Shoppe Object manual did, set the rate to $0.
  • I&D labor hours: install plus dismantle, 0.06–0.10 person-hours per sq ft for rental, 0.08–0.14 for custom or hybrid, 0.12–0.20 for fully custom.
  • Labor rate: $138–$207 per person-hour, straight time, a planning range from published 2026 show labor rates elsewhere. No High Point building publishes a labor rate.
  • Own staff: North Carolina is right-to-work, and ANDMORE's 2025 temporary exhibit let exhibitors set up their own displays. If your staff does it all, I&D labor drops to $0.
  • Not included: the showroom or booth lease, the exhibit itself, freight to High Point, electrical work, Market passes, travel and tax.

At High Point: oversize pieces, freight over 2,000 lbs and late freight carried extra fees in ANDMORE's 2025 manual. The 200 lb minimum and loose-freight surcharge follow common show kits; your building's instructions set the real figures.

The calendar

High Point Market events 2026–2027: the April and October Markets

High Point is a two-week-a-year show: one Market in April and one in October, each about five days, for retailers, designers and other trade buyers only. The Fall 2026 Market ran October 17–21, so the next two are below. ANDMORE's temporary venues open a day before each Market.

Two Markets are confirmed for 2027: Spring 2027, April 10–14, and Fall 2027, October 23–27, both run by the High Point Market Authority. The Fall 2026 Market ended October 21.

Dates from highpointmarket.org, checked November 8, 2026. Inside each Market, ANDMORE runs Suites at Market Square, SALON and InterHall, and in 2025 its Shoppe Object artisan show; their own 2027 dates were not yet published. Exhibitor deadlines for the printed guides fall in January for the April Market.

Hotels, shuttles, crew logistics

Hotels near High Point Market

For a market this size, downtown High Point has very few hotel rooms. The former Red Lion on South Main Street, a block from the IHFC, has stood empty since 2020. Many teams stay elsewhere in the Triad, in hotels or rental homes, and ride the Market Authority's free shuttles, which link about 80 hotels, three airports and two Park & Ride lots with the showroom district.

Downtown has only a few hotels: SpringHill Suites High Point Downtown, about 0.3 miles from the IHFC, and the 31-room JH Adams Inn. Most teams stay across the Triad and ride the free Market shuttles from about 80 hotels.

Insider tips

High Point Market exhibitor tips: what experienced teams do

Leasing

Start with the building, not the Market

Each venue sets its own showroom sizes and lease terms, and ANDMORE holds almost all the temporary space. Call the building first; the Market Authority handles passes, listings and transport.

Timing

Use the extra Friday

Suites, SALON and InterHall open on the Friday, a day before the Market. Temporary exhibitors who are fully set up by then get one more day with early buyers.

Freight

Keep pieces under 5 ft 8 in

ANDMORE's 2025 manual charged extra for any unit over 5 ft 8 in wide or high or 7 ft long. Furniture and display pieces sized under that move free with boxed freight.

Power

Book hard-wired electrical early

In ANDMORE buildings, all hard-wired electrical work goes through BECO. Lighting a showroom or a booth wall needs that order in well before the Market.

Hotels

Plan around the shuttles

Downtown has almost no hotel rooms, so many crews stay across the Triad and ride the free Market shuttles. Match install hours to the shuttle schedule or rent a car for the crew.

Passes

Register every person

Exhibitors must get passes for everyone from their company who attends, through the Market Authority's registration. That includes installers who stay on for the Market.

Real costs

What it costs to exhibit at High Point Market

Few High Point rates are public. ANDMORE's 2025 Shoppe Object manual moved boxed freight free, charged $300 for late freight and $400 for an unreturned cart, and the Market Authority's shuttles are free; lease rates are set building by building.

Checklist

High Point Market exhibitor checklist

Sign with your building first, book hotels months ahead, order electrical through the building's vendor, size pieces under 5 ft 8 in, ship inside the receiving window and register every staff member for a pass.

  1. 6 months out Choose a permanent showroom or temporary space and sign with the building: each venue sets its own sizes and terms, and ANDMORE holds 99% of the temporary space.
  2. 16 weeks out Book rooms early: downtown has few hotels, so plan a Triad hotel or rental home on one of the Market shuttle routes.
  3. 12 weeks out Meet the exhibitor deadlines for the printed guides, which fall in January for the April Market.
  4. 8 weeks out Get your building's shipping instructions and receiving window; for ANDMORE's 2025 Market Square exhibit it ran from a month before until 3 p.m. four days before opening.
  5. 6 weeks out Order hard-wired electrical through the building's vendor: at ANDMORE that is BECO.
  6. 5 weeks out Size every piece under 5 ft 8 in wide and high and 7 ft long, and flag anything over 2,000 lbs for special handling.
  7. 4 weeks out Ship to your building's dock inside its window; the 2025 manual charged $300 for late freight.
  8. 3 weeks out Register everyone from your company for a pass through the Market Authority, installers included.
  9. 1 week out Book a dock appointment for every delivery, load-out and labor call; allow up to 24 hours for confirmation.
  10. Travel day Check the shuttle schedules on highpointmarket.org and use the Park & Ride lots; downtown parking is limited during Market.
  11. Friday before Be set up when Suites, SALON and InterHall open, a day before the Market; unload with two people and keep car stops to about 30 minutes.
  12. Move-out Book your load-out dock time and return carts and dollies: unreturned ones were billed $400 and $125 in 2025.

Rules from the Market Authority's exhibitor guide and ANDMORE's 2025 Shoppe Object – High Point setup and shipping page; your building's current instructions set the real dates.

Questions

High Point Market FAQ for exhibitors

What is the difference between a permanent showroom and temporary space at High Point Market?
