The Naples Product Expo at the
beautiful Ritz Carlton on Friday, Sept. 25, was a tremendous success
and sold out for the fifth year in a row. I want to personally thank
all our Industry Partners who exhibited at the show and who helped
sponsor the event.
Altogether we had almost 50
vendors displaying products and services in a casual yet professional
setting. A variety of exhibitors participated, many for the first time.
New products that the designers haven't seen before made for an
exciting show.
I would like to thank Brooke
Tully and Artistic Surfaces for their generosity in buying drinks for
exhibitors and designers at the expo cocktail party. More than 200
people attended the show, making this expo one of the best attended in
a few years.
Accolades also go to all those
design professionals who support our Florida South Chapter throughout
the year. They include media sponsor Home Miami and Fort Lauderdale
Magazine, Benjamin Moore-our grand sponsor for three years in a
row-Eostone, Artistic Surfaces, Ruben Sorhegui Tiles, Bazzeo/Richlin
Interiors, International Design Center, Coverings, Rogers Design Group,
