Choosing the right hard surface can make or break a design — and it’s not always as straightforward as it looks. In this session, Michele Baum of Decorative Materials will walk designers through the tile and stone materials they carry, where these materials are sourced or manufactured, and how to confidently select the right application for each. You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of hard surfaces, fewer costly mistakes, and more confidence when specifying for your projects.

We all know testimonials matter. But if you're only asking clients to leave a good word on Google, you're missing an incredible marketing and messaging opportunity. Client feedback holds key details about your brand messaging -- from word choices and tone to marketing angles and content ideas. 

In this CEO corner, I'll show you how to get better testimonials from clients AND how to mine their feedback to build a solid brand foundation. We'll cover:

- the exact questions I ask to get compelling, detailed testimonials

- what patterns to look for in their responses

- how to let those patterns inform your brand's messaging and marketing strategy so you can attract more, better-fit clients.

If you've ever stared at the blinking cursor, unsure of what to write for your website words or marketing content, this session's for you!

The term undertone has gained popularity in our design vocabulary, giving us a new way to decipher and evaluate color. In this CEO Corner, we will explore the beauty of undertones, focusing on ways to lean into their ability to enhance a space. By understanding the interdependence between a paint color and its surroundings, we can learn to appreciate the dynamism of color. We will start to look at color as more than just red, green, violet, or gray but from a more thoughtful approach. This idea is encapsulated by the Color Trends 2025 palette, celebrating the nuances and intricacies of color that elevate any design.
