HIGH POINT — The High Point Market Authority (HPMA) draws from 2026 Whole-Home Design Study for opening day Keynote Series event for the upcoming High Point Market.
The first keynote presentation of the market — set for 3 p.m., Oct. 17, in the High Point Theatre — reflects the trade show’s partnership with the National Kitchen & Bath Assn. Titled “Evolution of the Home: The Consumer Shifts Reshaping Design & What It Means for Your Business,” the session will explore the evolving relationship between kitchen and bath professionals, interior designers and the broader home furnishings industry.
Bill Darcy, NKBA global president and CEO, and Tammy Covington, HPMA president and CEO, will present the study’s findings, examining cross-disciplinary collaboration among design professionals, identifying key growth opportunities and discussing how shifting consumer expectations are reshaping residential design.

“As the largest trading and educational hub for the design industry, we’ve partnered with NKBA on this inaugural, one-of-a-kind survey, and we’re thrilled to reveal the findings at our Saturday Keynote event in October,” said Covington.
Survey participants included NKBA members, Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS) attendees and design professionals from HPMA’s database. With research concluding earlier this spring, the study’s findings will be revealed for the first time during the fall Market event.
The Saturday Keynote is presented by HPMA in partnership with NKBA. Additional details for the event and the keynote series is available here.
