The International Home Furnishing Market Authority (IHFMA) launched a survey in September to gauge whether High Point Markets should be changed from the traditional October and April dates. While the final results are being tabulated, preliminary evaluations indicate an overwhelming majority of respondents are in support of moving the dates in which Market is held. “Based on our preliminary analysis, respondents believe holding Market for a week in both September and March would be in the best interest of the Market,” explained Judy Mendenhall, IHFMA president. “In the spirit of constant growth and innovation, and to maximize attendees’ and exhibitors’ experience in High Point, we will take the findings into consideration and make an official announcement.” The survey, conducted via e-mail and fax, targeted randomly selected High Point Market exhibitors and buyers.
