In this episode, Lizz takes you behind the scenes to talk about the moments that often matter most, the unexpected conversations, the familiar faces, the new connections, and the ideas you didn’t know you needed until you heard them.

For decorators, distributors, and industry professionals, trade shows can be a chance to step away from the day-to-day, get inspired, discover what’s changing, and reconnect with the people who make this industry what it is.

Lizz shares why showing up still matters in a world where we can learn, connect, and do business from almost anywhere and how to make the most of those in-person moments.

Because sometimes, the most valuable thing you bring home from a trade show isn’t something you bought. It’s a conversation that sparks an idea, a connection that leads somewhere new, or a perspective that changes the way you approach your business.
