Virtual Interiors Event
The inaugural Virtual Interiors Event is due to take place on 24th - 25th February 2021.
The event is the brainchild of Sally Rice and Beth Harrison, who’s combined 35 years’ experience has paved the way for success. Rice comments “The commercial interiors industry is all about connection: connecting people, connecting with new ideas as well as being tapped in to new products at the forefront of innovation. We feel The Virtual Interiors Event offers the industry access to all of these and more, regardless of location, travel restrictions or even time zone”
Sponsored by Chaucer Logistics, CMD and Orangebox, the event features virtual exhibition stands from established manufacturers such as Vitra, KI Europe, Camira and Brunner alongside smaller firms such as Sileather UK, who produce an eco-friendly, bio-resistant, sustainable faux leather made with 100% silicone.
Thought leadership will form a key part of the agenda, with speakers such as HOK’s Director of Workplace Kay Sargent discussing neurodiversity and social equity, TEDx speaker Ben Channon on Designing for Happiness and Element 4’s Georgia Elliott Smith. Also speaking will be workplace psychology expert Craig Knight, Spacelab Director Rosie Haslem and FX Designer of the Year 2017 Anna Hart.
The Virtual Interiors Event uses an online platform that promotes networking and can host one to one video calls, virtual exhibition stands and instant messaging within the event. Attendance is free, with a paid-for 30-day On Demand ticket also available. BIID Members can access this for free and the code can be found in the Members Area.
