We are freshly back from two weeks of travel, and have so much to share! ​​We want to tell you all about the C.Next Global Design Summit that Cosentino hosted at the beautiful Nizuc Hotel in Cancun, Mexico. These trips, while time-consuming and tiring, are nonetheless lots of fun and provide so much information to keep us up to date with all the new design knowledge for you and our clients. The good news is that we're here to tell you everything there is to know about it this week, so let's get started!

In this episode:

• [03:00] Kelly and Joann breakdown the Inaugural event hosted by Cosentino
• [06:00] Sustainability and timeless, quality products
• [11:00] A keynote speaker’s message about “The Spiral Staircase” and stepping outside your comfort zone
• [19:00] Joann and Kelly talk more about the event and the different vendors and products at the summit

Key Takeaways:

• Now more than ever is the time to step outside your comfort zone. Especially during this COVID-era, we are learning more and more that if you want to try something, you should go for it.
• Attending these types of events helps us keep our Interior Design knowledge up to date on trends so we can accomplish exactly what our clients want!
