About The Summit
EMBRACE:
An essential part of this year’s Summit is to help International Design Guild members embrace new technologies that will ultimately help their business. It is also important for members to embrace the new programs and products offerings presented to them.
ENGAGE:
Attending Summit is the first step. Engaging in the sessions, networking time, and opportunities to meet one-on-one with International Design Guild staff brings the experience to another level. Throughout the Summit agenda, there are many opportunities to engage with the best in the industry.
ELEVATE:
The speakers, presentations, and programs offered at the 2012 Summit will help International Design Guild membership bring their business to a new level. The goal of the 2012 Summit is to elevate Guild showrooms above their competitors and help them stand out in the luxury market.
DETAILS:
The 2012 Summit will be held at the Excalibur Hotel in Las Vegas, NV. The Summit begins with a full day of programs and presentations on Monday, January 23, 2012 and will continue at Mandalay Bay on Tuesday and Wednesday with one-on-one meetings with International Design Guild staff and speakers.
VENUE:
Monday’s meetings will be held at the Excalibur Hotel in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip. The Excalibur provides us with top notch meeting space and is in close proximity to Mandalay Bay – the 2012 location of Surfaces. International Design Guild has also secured space at Mandalay Bay on Tuesday and Wednesday for one-on-one meetings to be more convenient for our Guild members attending Surfaces.
SPEAKERS AND KEYNOTE:
In addition to representatives from the International Design Guild staff, this year’s Summit brings members luxury market expert Chris Ramey, a panel of professional designers and keynote speaker Mark Brunetz.
