Conference Review: NeoCon 2016
Held at The Mart in Chicago, NeoCon celebrates the ever-evolving world of commercial design and business trends. Over the years, NeoCon has grown into one of the most widely known and largely attended trade shows within the interior design industry. Every year, thousands of professionals spend three days immersed in new trends and ideas through a series of showroom tours, engaging keynotes and educational seminars.
This year's themes included integration of technology, increased flexibility, playful design, and the trend of "resimmercial" (residential + commercial) across all markets. In addition to experiencing hundreds of new products, designers and vendors were able to showcase their solutions to a range of ongoing design challenges. From integrating more technology into furniture, alternatives to traditional storage, merging the living room into the workplace environment, the designers, in all market types, had a lot to offer.
