Strategies for Enhancing the Profession's Value
Thursday, December 5, 2024 | 10:30am - 12:00pm

In today’s dynamic interior design landscape, registered professionals encounter the challenge of engaging with increasingly design-savvy clients who have unprecedented access to design resources, including non-accredited designers. To thrive in this environment, interior designers must harness their skills and leverage new technologies to enhance their processes and communication with clients. Strategies emphasizing collaboration, innovation, and ongoing education become essential strengths, empowering designers to demonstrate their expertise and elevate the profession’s value.

This year’s Interior Design Roundtable will delve into these strategies, skills, and technologies that can be utilized to enhance and effectively communicate the profession’s value in a competitive market.
