The Design Center of the Americas (DCOTA) has long been an iconic design destination and revered for its bi-annual Market events that attract designers, architects, decorators and their clients from around the world. Each Market features a variety of design-centric activations including renowned keynote speakers, engaging panel discussions, continuing education classes and in-showroom demonstrations and product debuts – which fosters shared resources and experiences, and cutting-edge industry news.
The annual DCOTA Spring Market, DCOTA will debut its new philosophy, “Everything by Design.” To embrace the opportunity of welcoming patrons from diverse industries and services, DCOTA is hosting a unique panel discussion with some of South Florida’s most influential and forward-thinking business leaders.
The panel discussion “The Intricacy of Design Across Diversified Industries,” will be an engaging conversation about how design impacts every professional trade. From the literal design of commercial and residential structures and office spaces incorporating interior design, architecture, construction, and developers. To the figurative design of creating mutually beneficial partnerships that foster business relationships and economic growth within in the South Florida market. The panel, enthusiastically sponsored by Lifestyle Media Group, will be Moderated by Stephanie Toothaker, Chairwoman & Chief Strategist of Toothaker.org. Featured panelists include Alan Hooper, Co-Founder of Urban Street Development; Bob Swindell, President and CEO of the Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance; Kobi Karp, Founder and Principal of Kobi Karp Architecture and Interior Design, Inc (KKAID), and Steven Gurowitz, President & CEO of Interiors by Steven G.
