The High Point Market (formerly the International Home Furnishings Market and the Southern Furniture Market), held in High Point, North Carolina, is the largest home furnishings industry trade show in the world, with over 11 million square feet (1 km2) and about 2,000 exhibitors throughout about 180 buildings.[1] The market holds two major shows each year in April and October, and attracts between 70,000 and 80,000 attendees. The High Point Market Authority coordinates the exposition, whose showrooms have nearly completely filled what had been the historic downtown.[2] A 2018 Duke University study showed that the market contributed $6.7 billion to the area's economy.[3]
