Today was a big day, not only for the Merchandise Mart and the design community, but also for me. Today was the first day of my first ever NeoCon experience! I started off the morning perusing the showroom and booth floors, fighting crowds, and (I admit it) looking for free goodies! It was a busy day, but there was a lot of excitement in the air!
I took it upon myself to document a few other firsts happening around the Mart. Check out the following pictures to see what I came up with:
IIDA making a great "first" impression! Signs hung outside the main doors of the Merchandise Mart
Busy at the registration table: "first" people in the door this morning
Fellow IIDA intern Kayla takes her "first" test sit in Knoll's Generation chair
My "first" time sitting in Herman Miller's Embody chair. I could feel my blood pressure getting lower!
The "first" time IIDA members enjoyed a game of Twista in the middle of NeoCon
How did your first day go at NeoCon? What will you tell everyone about when you get home?
