Boot Scootin’ to Austin and Design Camp

I am so excited to have another wonderful design opportunity on my schedule. I am lucky enough to be attending Design Camp as a VIP. This is the brainchild of Lori Dennis and Kelli Ellis. It is in Austin, Texas. Austin has long been on my bucket list. This trip will be a wonderful continuing education opportunity, as well as, a chance to visit the state capitol of Texas. My new boots are ready to roll. The line up of speakers is top notch. Check out the agenda:

Your Agenda

Design Camp begins Wednesday night with a red carpet, kick off Cocktail Party, introducing your hosts, sponsors and speakers. Bright and early on Thursday morning your intense, educational journey begins with learning the foundation building, fundamentals of todays design process, trends, and application. Thursday caps with another fun Cocktail gathering to cement your new relationships with the Design elite. Friday’s schedules forges ahead with the building of relationships, continuing with how to acquire an envied resource library comprised of A-list companies and the day progresses with invaluable topics about managing and marketing your projects and your Brand.

Each day of Design Camp provides you with the opportunity to learn and network with the most respected professionals in the interior design business. The topics covered at Design Camp exceed traditional education. The biggest difference – It’s like you’ve done an internship in two days, invested a lot less money and had much, much more fun!
