Why You Need to Come to the ART + IDS Conference

Written by Ann Bridgman of Just the Thing Decorating

2019 was my first time attending the IDS Conference and I didn’t know what to expect.  So if you’ve never attended, let me share why you need to!

1. Be around the best

• Attend this conference with 200 other people who love what we do, and inspire you to grow and improve.
• Ask the questions no one outside of our craft would understand. 
• Be inspired by those ahead of you on this journey. Make vendor, coach and designer connections from around the country.

2. Focus on your business

• Take the time to really analyze where you need to improve and how to do it.
• Knock out those CEU’s and learn more of what you never did about running a successful business.
• Get the jump on global emerging trends.

3. Enjoy the fruits of your labor

• Come early or stay late and pull back from the demands of everyday.
• Be inspired by the fabulousness of the velvet loafers, colorful caftains, and fantastic apparel on your fellow designers
• Our business can be a lonely one, so come and enjoy your tribe!
