"Color's Impact on Mind & Body in Interior Environments" - Jennifer Prins | Cambria
Discuss how the human eye perceives color, how color affects emotions, and the physical and psychological effects of color.
"Why Choose Natural Stone" - Noah Kimberlain | Levantina USA
With so many building materials on the market today, this course will remind you why architects and designers keep choosing natural stone for their projects. Throughout history we’ve seen natural stone used in iconic structures symbolizing strength and permanence. New materials strive to mimic its beauty, but genuine natural materials connect us with our planet and its future in a unique and undeniable way. Its inherent durability allows stone to perform impeccably in commercial and residential applications, interior or exterior. New technologies are also keeping stone a front runner with innovative interior design trends by introducing new textures and patterns.
"Designing for Guaranteed Health & Comfort Performance" - Corbett Lunsford | Home Diagnosis TV Show
Today, people spend 90% of their lives indoors, and homeowners and their kids experience more health issues and 'environmental sensitivities.’ Building materials and household products are becoming more chemically complex. Remodelers are stuck with a choice- design performance control into their projects to predict and prevent side effects in the physics and chemistry dynamics, or make assumptions and hope for the best. In this workshop, learn the basics of designing for performance control, from the building science, to specifications and targets, to the testing that will prove your next remodel will be a healthy, safe, and comfortable place for a family to live.
"Design in Reverse - Budget" - Jeffrey Baker | Jeffrey Bruce Baker Designs, LLC
After years of redesign and VE, we are focusing on design creating more efficiencies by working in reverse with budget analysis and bringing on the builder as a partner during early design phases.

"Prospect-to-Client Automation Blueprint" - Mick Olinick | Rockstar
As busy, driven professionals, the challenge that we all face is not that we don’t know WHAT we need to do, but that we don’t have the time to consistently execute it. With new leads and different prospects in different places within the sales pipeline, crucial communications that must be done on a timely basis to increase their effectiveness can easily fall through the cracks because there are so many other important moving pieces within the business. This can result in a variety of frustrating issues, including missed or late follow up on leads or appointments, salespeople and organizations looking bad, elevated rates of no-shows for phone calls and webinars, and overworked, overwhelmed and frustrated administrative staff. What's worse is that management may lack clarity of where the breakdown is happening, if they realize that a breakdown is happening at all. This talk will demonstrate a different opportunity, where attendees will discover how to get away from making call lists and follow up lists with pen and paper and instead gets those systems fleshed out and automated so that they just always work, period. More importantly, attendees will learn how to take THEIR sales and followup systems and automate them, and not need to rely on a stock service that doesn't match their own systems or voice.
