Architectural Digest Editor to Give Keynote at High Point Market

Billed as a “behind-the-scenes conversation with the editor-in-chief of Architectural Digest (AD) on her new book, AD at Home, the High Point Market Authority (HPMA) has announced the Fall Market keynote speaker will be Amy Astley, who is celebrating 10 years at the helm of the publication. The keynote will take place Saturday, October 25, at 3 p.m. in the High Point Theatre.

Titled “Celebrate a Decade of Design with Amy Astley,” the keynote will offer an insider’s look at her 10-year retrospective, AD at Home. Astley will be joined by AD PRO Senior Editor Mel Studach for a candid conversation exploring her editorial vision, the creative forces behind the book, and her leadership shaping the iconic design publication over the past decade.

Published by Rizzoli, AD at Home highlights Astley’s most memorable features of architecture, interiors, and lifestyle. From actress Julianne Moore’s New York City brownstone to Alicia Keys’ cliffside modernist mansion, the book invites readers into the personal spaces of some of today’s most influential figures in media, art, and design.

“It’s a thrill to partner with Architectural Digest to bring the best in design to Fall Market,” said Tammy Covington, HPMA president and CEO. “Amy has spearheaded a remarkable evolution in design storytelling, and Market guests will be inspired by her unique perspective.”

Sponsored by Architectural Digest and presented by HPMA, the keynote is open to all registered High Point Market attendees. The High Point Theatre is located adjacent to the Transportation Terminal. Doors open at 2:30 p.m. and the program will conclude at 4 p.m. Additional details about the Keynote Series are available here.
