Casual Living Sets Inaugural Conference Dates
Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, September 16, 2011
HIGH POINT - Casual Living has announced the dates, theme and location for its first Casual Living Conference. This groundbreaking event will be held Feb. 22-24, 2012, at the Ritz Carlton, Sarasota, Fla.
The theme - The Sky's the Limit - will examine key opportunities in the outdoor industry, discuss the changing consumer, detail technological trends and zero in on casual's ascendancy in the marketplace.
"If 69% of International Furnishings and Design Assn.'s surveyed members expect outdoor living spaces to expand by 2020, then we as an industry have to be prepared to respond," said Nicole Crews, executive editor of Casual Living. "This conference gives us the forum to come together and address how we go about responding to that growth." The event is sponsored by the International Casual Furnishings Assn., Agio, Glen Raven, Telescope Casual Furniture, Alfresco Home, Gloster, Hanamint, Lane Venture, Lloyd/Flanders, OW Lee, Pride Family Brands and Tuuci.
Sponsorships and reservations are still available. For more information, contact Crews at ncrews@casualliving.com or Publisher Norman Hamilton at nhamilton@casualliving.com.
