This just in from Kendall at Lower Oak Lawn... Celebration of Design 2010 is now open for registration in Dallas!

Stop refreshing your browsers, registration for Celebration of Design 2010 is now open! Of all the year’s events, Celebration of Design is by far one of my favorites. Hundreds of designers, architects and decorators from across the metroplex and the state descend upon Decorative Center Dallas at once, breathing life into the Design District. It’s so fun to meet new people and it’s a great way to get a handle on the current inspirations of the design industry.

This year, Celebration of Design will be hosted October 27 and 28, and will offer all the CEU/CEPH credits you need to keep your license up to date! Here’s a quick run down of the class offerings:

• The 2030 Challenge for Interior Design @ Janus Et Cie

• Detroit, Dallas & Despotism: a 3D view of Sustainability @ Scott+Cooner

• Design for Public Health @ McGannon

• Design without Barriers: Exploring the Principles of Universal Design @Kisabeth

• Using Intuition To Create Well-Being in the Design Process: Adapting skills for architects and designers in transformational times @ Brown Jordan

• Staying “UP” in a Rollercoaster Economy: Steps for Staying Positive and Attracting Clients @ Pettigrew

• The Energy Efficient Kitchen @Miele

• Color Trends: The Catalysts that Create Change @ Artemide

• Social Media: The 21st Century Approach to Marketing Your Business @Pierre Deux

As you can imagine, I’m particularly excited about the Social Media class. I am always interested to see how design businesses are marketing their services online! What class sounds most interesting to you?

In addition to the classes, there are three free ways to mix and mingle with fellowCelebration of Design attendees. Pettigrew and Porcelenosa will host complimentary lunches on Wednesday and Thursday. Additionally, Luxury Living(who carries the Fendi Casa and Kenzo Maison lines) will host their official grand opening party on Thursday, October 28 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. All of these event are complimentary but a RSVP is required.
