People seen at premarket spring 2024

Every six months, retailers from around the country come to see the latest product introductions about a month before the spring and fall High Point Market. For many, this is a prime opportunity to have in-person meetings where they can not only see the product up close, but reconnect with longtime industry business associates. But the event also allows buyers and sellers alike the chance to kick back and relax at the popular reception at the Grandover Resort in Greensboro. Below is a look at some of the industry people we saw there at the event on Monday and look forward to seeing again in April when they come back to town for the official market.
