BOLD Summit Day 2: Internal Alignment for Growth

Wondering just what it is you’ll be learning at the BOLD Summit this year? Look no further! Here is a rundown of some of the topics we’ll be covering during the most intense two days of business development you’ve ever seen. Your time is valuable so it has to be high impact!

Day two kicks off with the third of our BOLD Masters, the inimitable Martyn Lawrence-Bullard. Beyond the notoriety of his design firm, Martyn is also known for his fabulous line of products including furniture, fabric, flooring, fragrances, and soon to be fashion and jewelry. He will share with attendees the keys to his success in a candid Q&A with Julia Molloy.

Next we dive into a products and licensing panel moderated by Natalie Norcross, founder of A Design Partnership. This panel features Crans Baldwin, who will be giving a presentation later in the day on how to navigate and adapt your business to your strategic advantage. Crans will share with us his insights into the marketplace as it is today, and offer options and solutions for designers seeking to grow, adapt, and differentiate their businesses in today’s challenging business climate.

Our Keynote Speaker Keith Granet will then present on licensing contracts and important strategic aspects of brand extension. He will help you to understand what milestones need to be met before launching a furniture line or licensing deal. Keith will also introduce a groundbreaking new tool that creates efficiency in your design process. This will be followed by BOLD Summit Founder Julia Molloy’s presentation on company structure and workflow.

Following lunch, we will hear from Crans Baldwin and Randy Fiser, chief executive officer of ASID. Dedicated to advancing community and economic development, he brings to his role a unique point of view about the capacity of design to make a positive impact on human health, well-being, and productivity. Randy is releasing new information on evidence based design that you can consider incorporating into your business offering.

Our final panel for the Summit will be on blogging, technology, and social media and how to make them work for you. Featured on this panel will be Anna Brockway, the chief curator from Chairish, and Mat Sanders from MyDomaine. Afterwards, you can join some free-form roundtable discussions with the experts featured over the two days of the Summit. Lastly, we will be treated to a summation by Chris Ramey, president of Affluent Insights and one of the most highly regarded experts in the luxury segment.
