HPMA Fall Keynote Features Amy Astley, Celebrating a Decade at Architectural Digest

HIGH POINT, N.C., August 25, 2025 – The High Point Market Authority (HPMA) announces Architectural Digest Editor-in-Chief Amy Astley as the keynote speaker for Fall Market, taking 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’s cliffside modernist mansion, the book invites readers into the personal spaces of some of today’s most influential figures in media, art, and design.

Sponsored by Architectural Digest and presented by HPMA, the keynote is open to all registered High Point Market attendees.

“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.”
