BOND has been one of the best kept secrets in Specification Sales for far too long! As a long time attendee and believer, it excites me to see the word really get out there and BOND claim it’s reign as the greatest ROI conference for Materials Manufacturers on the planet.

How it works
This is NOT a trade show

You know exactly who’s going to be here and you will have a number of guaranteed, pre-scheduled 1-to-1 meetings with the ‘buyers’ of your choice. And this is just the start.

You are all together for 3 days and 3 nights at a luxury resort, so there’s time and space to meet everybody and it’s this abundance of natural networking that opens up a whole world of possibilities. Because there’s a real community feel here and everyone’s more relaxed and open and any number of conversations can light up the commercial interior project trail right in front of you – you’ll see!

 

> 18 pre-arranged 1:1 meetings
+ 72 hours of networking in a luxury resort
= a proven formula for success.

 

 

We will deliver North America’s true commercial interior project influencers with time and space to get to know each other properly. The rest, frankly, is up to you!

Save your place

BOND Events are a valuable resource for our projects nation-wide! I always find innovative products and meet talented professionals.

Seminar - Public Health + Architectural Design = Value for All

Adele Houghton | President, Biositu, LLC

Read More Read Less

Synopsis

Every building design and facility operations decision has a ripple effect on the surrounding neighborhood. It Design Decisions can changes the amount of vegetation available to reduce the urban heat island, mitigate flood risk, provide opportunities for physical activity, and promote mental health and wellbeing. They can changes the economic landscape in the neighborhood and can increase access to health-promoting services like medical care, fresh fruits and vegetables, and childcare. The question is, how do architects and their clients know what kinds of design attributes and programmatic elements will bring the greatest co-benefits to future occupants and the surrounding neighborhood? And, crucially, how can they convert that knowledge into actions that improve the project’s financial feasibility? This talk will answer those questions by introducing a novel approach to programming and design decisions that uses neighborhood scale data as the basis for a structured, community-centric engagement process. The result is an aligned vision for the proposed project across community groups, the property owner/developer, and the local government. A proof of concept study of this approach, funded by the AIA Upjohn Research Initiative, found that prioritizing the ways a design could advance neighborhood goals around climate change, community health, and social equity could generate new, tangible value for all three stakeholder groups.

Seminar - Achieve Your Ideal Performance State

Cesar Gamio | Director, Dharma Centre of Wellbeing

Read More Read Less

Synopsis

Research shows that high performance under pressure does not come to down to merely cognitive capacity, material rewards, the right culture or management by objectives. A successful approach to sustainable performance and burnout prevention must consider the person as a whole. 

The key to enabling people to flourish under pressure lies in an integrated theory of performance management that addresses the body, mind, emotions and spirit. Each of these four levels profoundly influences the others, and failure to address any one of them can have detrimental consequences upon performance. 

The Achieve Your Ideal Performance State programme has been designed to provide knowledge, guidance and support to equip participants with the tools required to improve their self-management skills, to thereby improve their resilience and ability to deliver results under pressure.

By learning how to increase their human capacities at all levels, participants will bring their talents and skills to full fruition, allowing them to develop their ideal performance state.
