Networking 2

Second event I attended for my Networking assignment was High Point Furniture Market. Everyone should go to this event. Its a place for furniture companies, and design companies to showcase their newest work, and a great place to meet other designers from all over the world. Even though I have lived near High Point for many years, I have never taken advantage of what the market has to offer. It's a good learning experience to see the newest styles and products. All the companies seemed to be going "green" and using sustainable materials.

While there, I met lots of Sales representatives for different companies. I learned that the sales reps can be the best people to connect with. This is because they know many different design firms, and become friends with hundreds of different designers. This can be helpful when you are trying to look for a company that is hiring or a new client that needs work done.
