The High Point Market Authority announced this week that it has teamed up with Gail Doby Coaching & Consulting and Luxe Interiors + Design magazine to put on the Interior Design Summit and IDS GRAM|MEs in conjunction with the fall market in October.
The Interior Design Summit will take place on Friday, October 13 and will consist of a full day of educational sessions presented by 12 top designers and knowledge experts. Topics covered will include digital branding, how to set revenue-building design fees, selling value instead of time and conversations that close business. Lisa Kahn-Allen, owner of Lisa Kahn Designs, will keynote the event.
The day will also include small-group breakout sessions and an exclusive reception at the Lexington Home Brands showroom, where they will debut their new lifestyle collections with celebrated designer, Barclay Butera. Lexington is the title sponsor of the event.
“The Interior Design Summit is the only conference of its kind specifically focused on the business side of the interior designers’ business with profit and success strategies as the core of the summit sessions,” Doby said. “Transforming your business is real, and it happens when you have the proper support, tools and experts that genuinely and openly guide you through the process."
Following the summit, participants can head to the IDS GRAM|MEs, a new curated market experience that will offer attendees VIP-level access to showrooms throughout High Point. Prizes will be available and will be presented at the After Party hosted by French Heritage. The prizes are:
