The Diversity Advocacy Alliance (DAA) of the High Point Market Authority is now accepting applications for its newly-renamed Insider Access Experience at Fall Market, taking place during the fall trade show dates from Oct. 26 to Oct. 30.
Five participants will have the opportunity to shadow one industry professional at Fall Market. This will allow them to learn market tips, tricks, and business best practices. The experts leading the sessions include celebrity designers Corey Damen Jenkins, Erika Hollinshead Ward, and Mikel Welch. Each participant will accompany their chosen industry expert for a scheduled two-hour session between Friday, Oct. 25 and Wednesday of Market.
