High Point Market is almost here, and we have one simple ask for you: WHO IS YOUR ONE?

Invite her to a WithIt event this Market. Bring her with you. Introduce her around. Help her experience firsthand what this community is all about.

Refer one. Invite one. Bring one. Welcome one.

If each of us brings just one person, imagine how quickly we can grow our community—and in the best way possible: through personal connection.

Here are three great opportunities to bring YOUR ONE:

💡 INTERIOR DESIGNERS, we’d love your input!

WithIt is exploring the possibility of offering CEU credits with select educational programs and at our annual professional conference. Would CEU credits make you more likely to attend?

You do not need to be a WithIt member to participate or attend our events and conference.

Tell us in the comments:

A. Yes, definitely
B. Possibly, depending on the topic
C. No, CEUs aren’t a factor
D. I don’t need CEU credits

We’d also love to know what types of educational topics or CEU programs would be most valuable to you.

Your feedback will help us better understand how WithIt can support interior design professionals in the home and furnishings industries.

We love celebrating the accomplishments and expertise of our WithIt members!

Barbara “Bobbie” Leflein, president and owner of Leflein Associates Market Research and author of The Chic Home – Designing Smarter with AI, was recently featured by Home News Now, sharing how she used AI as a research and decision-making tool throughout the renovation of her Boca Raton home.

The feature explores how emerging technology can help consumers make more confident, thoughtful decisions about the way they live—an especially timely conversation for the home furnishings industry.

Congratulations, Barbara, on the feature and the publication of The Chic Home!

Market attendees can also hear Barbara speak Saturday, Oct. 17, on “Italian Design in the American Home.”
