4. How is the Design Bloggers Conference different from the Home Design Digital Marketing Summit?

The Design Bloggers Conference started six years ago primarily for:

  • design bloggers and interior designers that blog or use social media
  • interior designers and design brands wanting to learn how to become better digital content creators
  • design brands intending to collaborate and connect with design blog and social media content creators
  • in-person networking with social media and other virtual friends and connections

The Home Design Digital Marketing Summit started for (1) interior designers, design bloggers, and social media users attending the Design Bloggers Conference and (2) luxury design retailers, brands, and ecommerce sites— to help tackle and prosper from the dramatic consumer shift to internet shopping. Content is designed to keep pace with the most important trending digital marketing opportunities for branding and online selling.

While the Design Bloggers Conference has a strong focus on blogs, websites, and social media marketing, the Home Design Digital Marketing Summit helps attendees with the widening range of approaches available to design marketers for online selling and branding. Digital marketing thought leaders present approaches that every design professional or brand/product marketer needs to understand about:

  • digital branding
  • ecommerce strategies and tools
  • leveraging large home design websites and ecommerce marketplaces for sales and branding
