Meet me soon at
Below are some photos from my participation in their fair last year,
Formland really won my heart last year, I’m so happy I was invited back again and this year, I’ll be giving two lectures on STYLING (weeeee!) and moderating TWO panels. I am quite excited to be a moderator once again at a fair. It’s my newest passion – my first time moderating was at a fair I was on earlier this year, it felt really natural for me after years of public speaking. I was terrified at first, but it quickly felt “right” as I stood up and looked over at my lovely line up of experts sitting on stage, smiling back at me. The energy was fantastic and it inspired me. After 5 minutes, it was like the audience had disappeared and it was just me and my panel together in my living room talking about what we all have total passion for – design and social media.
I love the idea of getting together a bunch of smart people on a stage again, this time in Denmark, and to just chat very casually – and encourage an open and honest dialogue. Nothing scripted or overly rehearsed, just straight from the brain to the mouth – it’s often best that way and gives a fair such an edge when they are providing educational lectures that are also fun to listen to, dynamic and totally engaging.
I’ve sat (I mean slept) through many lectures at design fairs in the past, so I’m determined to never be THAT kind of speaker. Let’s hope not, anyway! I will really try to keep the energy high and get the audience involved too – as time allows. Also, I’m not the kind of speaker who exits the stage and disappears. Come up to me, talk to me, let’s grab a coffee. I’m totally interested in making new friends and connecting in that way – if I have time, I will make it.

At Formland this year, there are MANY stands that I want to visit, but I’m particularly looking forward to the HOUSE OF FREAKEBANA trend zone (last year it was truly incredible by the two ladies behind
Will you join me at Formland?
I will be there from opening day until Saturday afternoon, I’ll leave after my final lecture so around 4:30/5:00. I hope you will look for me. Also, when you’re at Formland, make sure to check out the trend hallway where you can find the curators the fair invited to show their current favorite things. You can see mine there as well.
See you in a few weeks!
Love,
