MyMarket

High Point Market is again providing everyone with a powerful tool called MyMarket to help you connect with fellow attendee, exhibitors, schedule meetings, find events. It is easy to add vendors, seminars, and any events you want to attend. You can access this information right from your iPhone, Droid, Blackberry, etc. If you have a smart phone you must sign up for this fabulous tool.

Next stop Chicago!

If you can’t make it to High Point then maybe I’ll see you in Chicago at IWCE Vision12. Attending this show also gives you access to the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS). You can find us at booth 245. Anna & Johnny Davis will also be in Chicago to help answer any questions you may have regarding Studio or any of our other products.

After the shows, I’ll be sharing photos of some of my favorite market finds from my iPhone 4S or my new iPad. The new 8 megapixel camera allows me to be more mobile at market. I usually have to wag around my Nikon SLR camera with the external flash. My new iPad has an app that will allow me to take a photo and make notes right on the photo. Can’t wait to test it out at the shows.
