Press Release from February 20, 2015 – Los Angeles — World-Renowned interior designer Kelly Hoppen will kick off the annual BOLD Summit (Business of Luxury Design), June 24-26, in Palm Springs, with a keynote lecture on June 25th about the keys to her success.
This year, luxury-level interior designers, architects and industry professionals will gather for two-plus days of high-level lectures and networking opportunities at the newly renovated Riviera Palm Springs to gain tools to elevate their business models.
According to Julia Molloy, owner of the BOLD Summit, who brings 20 years of luxury branding and business operations management training to the field, BOLD is the top business design conference in the nation. “It is carefully structured to launch the luxury focused interior designer and architect to the next level of success.”
In keeping with the conference’s commitment to boosting business performance, an array of industry heavyweights will address the group. Crans Baldwin, now at the helm of Dedar USA, will share some important insights about the state of the luxury market as well as emerging opportunities within this sector. Kim Kuhteubl of Me By Design and Hildegard Media will discuss important keys to effective branding for the luxury design firm. Julia Molloy will share powerful tips for streamlining business-critical processes and extracting more profit from projects through operational efficiency. She will also provide insider tips on how to refine the client experience and receive more luxury level referrals.
Additionally, editors of key design and lifestyle magazines and publishing companies, including Interiors, Form and Balcony Press, will lead valuable discussions on how to get published, and will conduct one-on-one portfolio reviews. Other panels will cover working with photographers and stylists on properly documenting design work for publication.
“The annual conference is a transformative experience where attendees get to learn from and mingle with leaders in the field,” says Julia Molloy, owner of BOLD Summit. “We are thrilled to be holding the conference this year at the stylish Riviera Palm Springs, which is an inspirational location for designers, because of its history and iconic mid-century architecture.”
Along with speaker Kelly Hoppen, additional luminaries from the world of design and architecture will be announced soon. Last year’s event at the Wynn Las Vegas included industry masters Mario Buatta, Vicente Wolf, Clodagh and Richard Landry, who were honored with BOLD Masters Awards created by Baccarat, following their keynote lectures to a group of 150 industry professionals. This year, it is anticipated that 200-250 (by-invitation-only) guests will attend.
