Dallas’ Bloggers Gathering Offers an Exclusive Look at Market

Dallas Market Center today announced that it will host its sixth bloggers’ gathering, Sneak Peek – A Conversation Starter this Friday, January 16, during its Total Home & Gift Market. Sneak Peek offers design and lifestyle bloggers, as well as social media influencers, a first look at home and gift products and trends that consumers will see in stores in the coming months.

“As an innovator in technology and social media, we are dedicated to developing relationships with key bloggers and influencers through Sneak Peek, found only at Dallas Market Center,” said Eva Walsh, EVP of Marketing. “This, combined with our commitment to the design community, will offer a unique space for inspiration, provide an opportunity to preview upcoming product, and a platform for enhancing connections among the industry.”

Sneak Peek will begin with a breakfast and private meet and greet with Donny Osmond, entertainment industry veteran and founder of Donny Osmond Home. Guests will attend a presentation by Jeff Lewis, America’s most well-known house flipper and designer, recognized for transforming homes on Bravo’s Flipping Out and Interior Therapy. Sneak Peek attendees will also be inspired by a presentation from Dallas-based Dwell with Dignity, a nonprofit group of interior designers and volunteers dedicated to creating soothing, inspiring homes for families struggling with homelessness and poverty. Throughout the day, attendees will tour multiple showrooms filled with dozens of lines to inspire.
