Join us Wednesday, July 16, from 4-6 p.m. at All Inc.’s new Plymouth showroom for an engaging happy hour designed exclusively for the design-build trade community. Whether you’re a seasoned architect, an up-and-coming designer, or a trusted remodeling partner, this is your chance to connect, unwind, and sharpen your competitive edge.
The evening will feature a special presentation (limited seating of 30-40 guests) by Katelyn Bloomquist, editor-in-chief of Midwest Design and judge of the Midwest Design Awards and various other design competitions across the nation. Bloomquist will offer an insider’s look at what makes a submission stand out in a crowded field of entries—and what common pitfalls to avoid. Drawing on her own editorial experience, as well as direct insights from past judges, she’ll share strategies for crafting a compelling narrative, choosing the right project photography, and articulating a design vision that resonates with the judges.
Other topics will include:
- How to think like a judge
- The perks of niche categories
- Why partnering up with co-entrants increases visibility
- And more!
Whether you’re thinking about submitting for the first time or looking to elevate your next entry, this candid conversation will equip you with the tools and confidence to showcase your work at its best. Attendees will also be able to ask questions about award categories, judging criteria, and key dates for the 2025 program.
In addition to the presentation, guests will enjoy refreshments, light bites, and the opportunity to tour the showroom’s newest product offerings across kitchen, bath, and luxury appliance categories.
This is a trade-only event. Come for the camaraderie, leave with insights that could give your next project the recognition it deserves. RSVP today!
