Insight, dialogue, and connection—without leaving Florida.
This conversation-driven event centers on a live panel discussion with respected voices from the Florida design community, exploring the business realities, relationships, and human dynamics shaping today’s design industry—and what those dynamics mean for what comes next.
Design Edge is an exclusive, to-the-trade experience that connects interior designers with premium home furnishings manufacturers in a regional format, eliminating the need for cross-country travel and overwhelming show floors. This Design Edge Preview and Panel Discussion offers an introduction to that model through dialogue rather than a traditional market experience, setting the stage for the larger connection event ahead.
Join us for thoughtful conversation, industry perspective you can apply immediately, and an easy late-afternoon gathering with drinks and light fare.
This event will be followed by the Home & Design Spring 2026 Launch Party, hosted by Spazio Marble located at 1958 Trade Center Way from 5-8pm. [RSVP]
