About this Event

Join Francis King for our annual Mini Market, a one-day celebration of design created exclusively for the Midwest design community. Bringing together our interior design community and industry partners, Mini Market blends education, inspiration, and connection into an experience that feels equal parts market, networking event, and design retreat.

This year's event features a keynote conversation with acclaimed interior designer Suzanne Kasler, presented in partnership with Hickory Chair. Through an intimate, moderated discussion, Suzanne will share insights from her celebrated career, offering practical takeaways for designers at every stage of their journey.

Beyond the keynote, attendees will enjoy:

• A curated showcase of Francis King's leading home furnishing brands
• Dedicated time to explore vendor tables and discover new products, capabilities, and resources
• Interactive experiences designed to inspire creativity and foster meaningful conversations
• Opportunity for a complimentary mini lifestyle headshot session captured by local creative talent, Tammy Brice (space limited to the first 40 designers who sign up) - SIGN UP HERE
• Complimentary lunch, beverages, and refreshments
• Opportunities to connect with fellow designers, manufacturers, and industry leaders

At Francis King, we believe the best events do more than showcase beautiful products; they strengthen our design community. Whether you're an emerging designer building your business or an established professional seeking fresh inspiration, Mini Market is designed to provide ideas, connections, and resources you can immediately put into practice.

Admission is complimentary, but registration is required.

We look forward to welcoming you for a day of learning, collaboration, and discovering what's next in design.
