Last week, design professionals from across South Florida gathered at DCOTA for CEU Day, presented in collaboration with ASID Florida South. The event offered an invaluable opportunity for architects, designers, and industry leaders to earn Continuing Education Units (CEUs) while exploring new ideas shaping the future of design.

A Full Day of Education and Insight

The day’s agenda featured a lineup of presentations from top names in color, technology, sensory design, and sustainable materials. Each session sparked meaningful conversations and equipped attendees with knowledge to bring back to their projects.

• Sherwin-Williams: Singing the Blues
  Hosted at John Rosselli & Associates, the morning began with a deep dive into the power of blue, exploring how this versatile color can influence mood, perception, and the energy of a space.
  
• Sensory Design and Eliciting Emotion
  Held at Gloster, this session highlighted how sensory-driven spaces can connect with users on a deeper level, evoking emotion through intentional design.
  
• Residential Design Meets Technology
  Crestron shared insights into the seamless integration of smart technology within the home, proving how innovation and convenience can elevate residential living.
  
• Cosentino: Sustainable Surface Innovation
  The day wrapped at the Madeval showroom, where attendees explored the future of high-performance surfaces and how sustainable materials can support both function and beauty in design.
