HIGH POINT, N.C. — WithIt will host three events during the fall High Point Market. The organization’s market schedule includes its Education Breakfast, a networking event at Interlude Home and the annual nWithIt Student Mentoring Day.
“High Point Market is an important gathering place for our industry, and we want WithIt’s programming to create opportunities that extend beyond the showrooms,” said Amy Van Dorp, executive director of WithIt. “These events give people a chance to learn, build relationships and make connections that can continue long after market ends. We’re also proud to introduce students to the industry and help them begin building those relationships early in their careers.”
