HIGH POINT — WithIt’s “Future of Home” Fall Education Breakfast will examine how digital discovery, online and in-store shopping, personalization, brand engagement and emerging technology are reshaping the consumer journey. The women’s leadership development network for the home and furnishings industry will host the breakfast on Sunday during High Point Market.
The discussion will be led by Jaye Anna Mize, vice president of advisory and partnerships at Future Snoops, and will include Chaya Krinsky, co-founder and lead designer of Tov Furniture, and Laura Forsythe, senior vice president of merchandising at Ashley Furniture.
The trio will explore how consumers are discovering products, what influences their purchasing decisions, what they are willing to buy digitally, what still draws them into a store and what those changing behaviors may signal about the future of the home furnishings industry.
