We’d like to offer a huge Thank You to everyone who made the The Design Bloggers Conference 2012 such a success – our sponsors, speakers, and especially everyone who attended.

The dynamic energy that all of you brought to the Design Bloggers Conference, your desire to learn, and the enthusiasm that you all displayed to meet and collaborate with your peers was truly remarkable.

The positive comments that many of you have written about the conference on your blogs are nothing short of amazing. Here’s a brief sample:

I had a really great time and enjoyed meeting so many talented individuals who are really the backbone of the Interior Design Industry. The Buzz word of the conference was ‘content marketing’ and the power of it! Design Bloggers are the new voice of the industry and I’m so happy to be a part of it! - Lauren Young, Boston Design Center

In case you haven’t heard, Design Bloggers Conference 2012 was a blast! I had such an amazing time catching up with old friends and making new ones along the way! - Tobi Fairley, Tobi’s Blog

I’m finally feeling rested and have caught back up with work.  Starting Sunday night I had the pleasure of attending the Design Bloggers Conference in downtown Los Angeles… To say that I left inspired would be an understatement! - Shelly Van Rozeboom, Van Rozeboom Interiors

I just got back from the Interior Design Bloggers Conference; such fun and so informative!…Inspiring Speakers: Martyn Lawrence Bullard (designer to the stars, furniture, rug, fabric, and accessory line designer) – funny, elegant, down-to-earth, extremely likeable!…There were many, many more speakers that were all informative and interesting.

In addition to recovering from jet lag, it’s taken me a little while to come down off the high I got from being at the Design Bloggers Conference in Los Angeles earlier this week. What an experience it was to mingle with fellow designers and bloggers, experience the L.A. design scene, and learn from some of the best in the field. – Laurie Gorelick, Build Your Nest

The Sunbrella team had a great time this past week at the Design Bloggers Conference.  The conference brought together interior design industry professionals who share a passion using new media to to do some amazing things in interior design. The event offered many ways to learn with insightful keynote speakers and panelists, and lots of networking and mingling with friends. Sunbrella was a sponsor of the event, and we had a great time interacting with all of the wonderful people in attendance! – Sunbrella
