U.S.– In its 11th installment, NeoCon® East proved its position as the premier commercial design exposition and conference for the commercial furnishings market on the East Coast.

The show’s strong exhibitor line-up and conference program attracted close to 7,000 attendees to the Baltimore Convention Center, October 16-17, 2013. Over 250 top-notch exhibitors across several vertical markets merged with the region’s preeminent architects, designers, facility managers, dealers/distributors, purchasing managers and more; engaging in brisk business, making key connections and participating in conversation about great design. A scenario for the mixture of on-trend and advanced products, dialogue about design, as well as networking.

According to Jordan Nolan, interior designer of Gresham, Smith & Partners, “This year's NeoCon East had a refreshing new spin. I noticed a sharper focus on research, with exhibitors like Herman Miller, Steelcase and J+J flooring sharing the latest developments in design technology at their booths. This was particularly valuable, as you were able to experience the technology in person. I was blown away by the amount of research and the amount of time spent conducting studies to achieve the manufacturers' findings and innovations.”
