Reception to follow at Duralee.

There’s no denying that the world of design is changing every day. We have an infinite amount of resources and information at our fingertips, which give us more of everything: ways to market and promote our services, places and product to shop, opportunities to hone our style and educate ourselves, ways to communicate with our clients.

How does having more contribute to the Design Revolution? Does it empower? Does it hinder? Does it contribute to a more sophisticated level of style? A better way to market, promote and get published? A better way to shop? An easier way to connect with clients? More trusted people are creating resources on the web: designers, editors, experts, connoisseurs, and their reporting is relevant, up-to-the-minute, and provides tools for designers that change the way they do business.

These are the questions we hope to answer today. We hope you’ll take away a better understanding of how to navigate this world of information and harness it to help your business. In a time where we all must evolve in order to exist, it is essential for us to gain a practical understanding of the tools and resources available.

Our panelists share a common thread— these individuals are using new tools and resources to innovate and take their business in new directions. Through their creative initiatives and forward thinking, they are blazing trails, setting standards and contributing to a new, revolutionary world of design.
