INSIDE KNOWLEDGE CONFERENCE
This afternoon event, open exclusively to BIID professional level members (Registered Interior Designers, Associates, Provisional Associates, Dual Members and employees of Registered Design Practices), will offer themed tables where attendees can choose what topic they would like to discuss in a focused, professional setting. These topics will be determined by you the member – please let us know on social media, via email or when you register to attend, what you would most like to discuss.
This is a unique opportunity for designers from all walks of life to get together and share their knowledge. Whether you are an employee of a large multinational company or a sole practitioner who runs your own business, an early career professional new to the industry or someone with decades of practice under your belt – you will have something to share and something to learn. Places are strictly limited so please book asap!
