| Who Can Go To Atlanta Market |
Cracking the Code: Who Gets to Mingle and Who Doesn't?
The VIP List (a.k.a. People Who Can Register):
- Retailers: You buy stuff to sell stuff? Welcome aboard!
- Design Dream Team: Calling all interior designers, architects, and anyone who can make a shoebox look like a palace.
- Behind the Scenes Bunch: Specifiers, purchasing companies – you name it, if you're buying in bulk for a business, you're good to go.
- Media Mavens: Gotta spread the word about all this design awesomeness? Apply for media credentials, hotshot. (But don't just show up with a selfie stick, that's a paddlin')
The Sorry, Not Sorry List (a.k.a. Folks Who Need to Wait for the Next Big Home Decor Sale):
Tip: Review key points when done.
- The General Public: The market is for industry peeps only. But hey, there are tons of amazing retail stores in Atlanta where you can unleash your inner decorator!
- Random People's Plus Ones: Bringing your bestie who collects porcelain unicorns? Maybe next time (unless they're an architect in disguise).
- The Under-12 Crew: Unless they're pint-sized design prodigies, it's probably best to leave the little ones at home. This ain't a playground (although some of those furniture displays might look tempting for climbing).
Pro Tip: Be prepared to show proof you're in the biz. Dust off that business card or company ID, because they'll be checking at registration.
