Sure, everyone who reads this blog knows that BDE does "design". But what you didn't know is that as of May, we do conferences, too! BDE was asked to put together a conference for the National Stationery Show about the future of brick-and-mortar stationery stores vs. the quickly-growing etailers that kids these days seem to prefer. We rounded up a keynote speaker, two lively and informative panels, and had a fantastic end-of-program presentation by Hallmark to boot. Check out images of the event below:

Panel One discussed The Issues, Solutions, and the Next 5 Years. Adam Glassman of O, The Oprah Magazine acted as moderator, and panelists included major retailers such as Kate's Paperie and William Arthur.
Panel Two discussed Connecting with Tomorrow's Customer, and the One Ten Years from Now. Dan Rubinstein of Surface Magazine moderated panelists from CoolHunting.com, Teen Vogue, and a couple of very knowledgeable trend forecasters including Laura Guido-Clark.
