How to Shop

As the preeminent fabric trade show, Interwoven Market is a fast-paced event with its own flow and nuances. While veterans typically plan their visits in advance and set appointments with key vendors, many exhibitors will also accommodate walk-ins.

Here are some tips to make your shopping experience productive:

  • Pick up a copy of our show guide available at any of the registration desks.
  • Shop one venue at a time. While wandering may seem appealing, working your way through each building systematically is a better plan.
  • Get to know the lay of the land. There are two main venues for the market: Market Square and the Resource Centers.
  • All buyers should enter through the courtyard entrance located at 305 W. High Ave. to have their badge printed.
