“With two events, one networking and educational and the other for mid-market sourcing, there’s no better way to bring the design community together this May,” said Cain Brodie, LVDC general manager. “The two events at LVDC this May will offer full opportunities for the local design community to learn, network, celebrate design and complete any shopping to restock products through July.”
