2010 Northeast Educational Conference Highlights
CONFERENCE SUCCESS...
We've said it before and we'll say it again - we have a GREAT GROUP and this year was no exception. The energy and spirit felt throughout the two days of learning, sharing and growing exceeded everyone's expectations.

The talented, and oh-so humble, Matthew Mead now has groupies! He engaged our group with his stories about how he started in this business and what his approach to design entails. His vignettes were beautiful, and he and his wife and business partner Jenny were a pure delight!
Below are some photos from his study in color. Come see more on our Facebook page.
Familiar faces (and some fresh faces from as far away as Washington state, Illinois, and Florida) were a welcome site. Attendees gathered together to learn and share, and be inspired by our speakers, Matthew, Doug Rawady, Christine Meier of Canvas Corp. Our own Susan Reynolds and Sharon Beardsley. Then it was off to Design Source CT!
Grabbing a seat and getting ready for a big day! Christine
Marketing expert, Doug Rawady, had us put on our thinking caps. He delighted the crowd with his quick wit and his inspiring ideas. Group work was next and we loved the results!
Did we mention is was pouring cats and dogs (more like horses and cows!) during our two days of learning? Well, we managed to stay dry and trek on over to Design Source CT to listen to Fran Mooney from Benjamin Moore, Marybeth Ferrer from Company C, and the wonderful women at the design center.
Small groups had to come up with some new ideas using Doug's method.
Listen, Learn, and touch. We were able to see samples of Company C's beautiful merchandise.
