Since 1969, NeoCon has been held annually at the Merchandise Mart in Chicago. NeoCon is one of the biggest events in the Commercial Design Industry and serves as the beginning of the industry’s yearly schedule. A+D Manufacturers from around the globe will fly in to showcase new products to the nearly 50,000 design professionals. This year was huge for Neocon as they celebrated their 50th anniversary.

Our own Cas Swope attended this year and represented Praxis3 in Chicago. In his words, “it was an amazing show. There are some great furniture pieces and impressive new flooring materials coming out. It was inspiring to see all the new products and collaborate with others in the design industry.”
Cas also had the pleasure of accepting IIDA’s “Best Thing Ever” Award on behalf of the IIDA Georgia Chapter. IIDA Georgia won the award for their annual Dressed event. Dressed is a charity fashion show in which design firms across Atlanta compete by designing garments made from sponsor materials. Dressed 2018 will be held in our office’s neighborhood at The Tabernacle on Thursday, September 20th from 6pm-11pm. Come out and support the Praxis3 team when they show off their runway ensemble!
